Activities and Interesting Places in the Area

There is so much to see in the area. Just 10 minutes drive away there is Folly Farm - a safe environment where children can get close to and learn more about farm animals. The Stepaside bird and animal park is worth a visit as are the beaches at Saundersfoot and Barafundle. For those with an interest in history and gardens we recommend Colby Gardens, Stackpole and the bosherton lily ponds. Step back in time with visits to Carew castle, Castell Henllys or St. Davids.

Trips by boat to the Islands;

Skomer is a National Nature Reserve managed by the Wildlife Trust West Wales. It is the largest of the Pembrokeshire islands with a wealth of wildlife, scenery, history and charm. Seabirds abound on rugged Ramsey Island, a nature reserve owned and protected by the RSPB. There are thousands of nesting seabirds to see on the island - including Razorbills, Fulmars, Guillemots, Kittiwake and Cormorants - as well as some 80,000 rabbits and a herd of Red Deer. The wild flowers are also spectacular. Grassholm Island, another RSPB reserve, is one of Pembrokeshire's most distant offshore outposts, some 11 miles out to sea.

Skokholm Island, also managed by the Wildlife Trust West Wales, was named by Viking invaders about ten centuries ago (as were most of the other large islands). Seabirds are also a feature of the island with a breeding population of some 35,000 pairs of Manx Shearwaters. It was here that the first bird observatory in Britain was established in 1933 by the naturalist R. M. Lockley. Caldey Island lies some three miles from tenby harbour and is privately owned by the Reformed Cistercian Order. The monks manufacture perfume, chocolate, yoghurt and dairy products and it is possible to visit the island by boat from Easter to the end of October.
