An off-grid, wild camping site, Gwastad Bach offers spectacular views to the Preseli Hills. On the border between Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire, the grass pitches are on a secluded smallholding with lots of cuddly animals around for the kids to befriend. Walkers and cyclists will find loads to do, with plenty of country walks as well as clifftop strolls along Pembrokeshire Coast Path (45 minutes’ drive), and the National Cycle Route 47 (Fishguard to Swansea) ready and waiting for you to join at Maenclochog (10 minutes). If the kids are keen to get down to the seaside, the Blue Flag strands at Tenby (45 minutes) are smashing for building sandcastles, while there are quieter spots at Newport Sands (30 minutes), where families can spend the day running off energy, splashing around in the sea and chilling with a picnic. Back at camp, it’s time to relax by your firepit and spark up the barbecue. Pick up supplies at the local store in Clunderwen (15 minutes), or there are pubs and takeaways in Maenclochog if cooking is not on your holiday schedule. Facilities-wise, this is wild camping so please note there is no electricity on site, but portable toilets, hot showers and a washing-up area are available, and there’s a handy launderette in the village if you’re here for a few days and need a wardrobe refresh.

Local attractions

If you can drag the kids away from the livestock on site, there are plenty more animal encounters on hand. Go trekking across meadows with a llama at Pembrokeshire Llamas (10 minutes’ drive), cuddle up to donkeys and ponies at Folly Farm Adventure Park and Zoo (half an hour) or go on a walking safari at Manor Wildlife Park (40 minutes) to spot kangaroos and endangered big cats. If you’re looking for something a bit higher-octane, the rollercoasters at Oakwood Theme Park (half an hour) should fit the bill nicely, or you can let off steam as a family with paint-balling challenges at Heatherton World of Activities (40 minutes), and then practise your swing on a round of golf. For a change of pace, tour ramparts and exhibitions at riverside Pembroke Castle (45 minutes) to step back into the Middle Ages – and now a special bit of insider knowledge for all you history buffs – Craig Rhos-y-felin (20 minutes) and Carn Goedog (25 minutes) are the apparent spots where the bluestones of Stonehenge were quarried.
