Hi

Were going camping in tenby south wales on friday and was just wondering what people think of it.

We have never been down there but have been told it is beautiful,doe's anyone have any nice places of interest to visit around there?

Or even a nice quiet car park near the beach  

cheers

steve

We're going on Saturday for a week 4 adults and 2 small children so most of the stuff I will suggest is child based, sorry.

I googled things to do in Tenby and it came up with loads of things even an aquarium that I didn't know was there.   And a friend of ours that caravans down there most of the year suggested going into the tourist info office and picking up some free books and papers they have there with everything in order of mileage from Tenby.

We're going to Folly Farm yet again!! We must go twice a year at least, lol.

The dinosaur park and small holdings farm near by that, the Crystal Maze, and Oakwood After Dark (£10 after 5pm open until 10pm, with most rides open, live entertainment and fireworks).   Of course we're doing the beaches and things, but the girls prefer being entertained and going around places rather than sitting on a beach as one of them has a sand phobia, :o)

we went last year it was fantastic, just down from tenby small place called wisemans bridge quiet & lovely saundersfoot is nice. pembroke castle is well worth a visit,fresh water east is very pretty too, hope you enjoy it.

Hi

Thanks for that some good suggestions for me.

were trying a reasonably small camp site sounds ok though called whitewell we have 3 children also so are looking for family things.

I've heard the weathers gonna be nice from friday so that should help to make it a nice holiday.

i'll keep an eye out for you landeg

cheers

lol and I'll keep an eye out for you too, the weather supposed to me amazing next week, so if you see two crazy screaming women, chasing two crazy kids follwed by two moaning minnie men, thats us, lol.

BTW we're going to Wood Park, just outside Tenby.

Wiseman's Bridge has a dog friendly pub serving food on the beach front and Pembroke Castle is dog friendly. Also Carew Castle & Tidal Mill and Carew Inn (opposite castle, lovely food, stunning puddings) are both dog friendly.

Living about 15 miles from tenby I can assure you the area is beautiful.  There are many things to do, depends on what you like.  If you like walking, walk around Bosherton Lilly ponds down to the beautiful Broadhaven (South) beech, or park at Stackpole Quay and walk to Barafundle Bay - voted in the worlds top 10 by readers of the Guardian.  Don't just do the Tourist/kiddy beeches, go to Freshwater West and places for that more rugged appeal.

The islands are superb, Caldy with it's monastry and monks, Skomer with it's Puffins, there are many others.  Go to Narberth for the slightly more Chic artistic feel - (do go to the deli there and have one of the nicest Creme brulees I have ever had anywhere!).  Go to Cresswell quay and sit at one of the cheapest pubs, watching the river. Just ask!  Oh yes, Pembroke Castle is nice too.  Folly farm is great for adults and kids - though it is certainly better with sprogs in tow.

One thing though. if you are looking for really good shopping at large stores, forget it.  The nearest M&S is about 40 miles away and even that is small.  We don't do big up here.

If you like cooking, get local sauages and steaks from the butchers. Most around here still take pride in their local produce

Blimey, have I really written all that?  I've been up here 3.5 years now and no way would I go back...

If you want to see some local pics, go to my website, look under Locale, and there is some there.

Sorry, one more (heehee) There is an Iron age fort that has bee recreated on it's exact site, in the north of the county. It is a fascinating couple of hours and the guides are very good. worth a visit if you're up that way for both kids and adults. They usually get the kids doing things for a hour while a guide show the adults around in more detail.

Sorry, as you can see I love it up here - as do most people who visit the area.

You have to visit Marloes Sands and if you follow the beach to the right and go round the rocks you can explore a shipwreck.  We went horse riding at Nolton Cross a few years back and that was lovely aswell.  There's also a wildlife park that is nice called something with Manor in the title and there is a castle near to it.

Wish I could holiday there every year I enjoy it there so much.  Have a fantastic time.

Thanks alot everyone

Plenty there for me, i think ill print this page off otherwise ill forget everything
