This place was amazing! We took the left path that has all the cool bridges. Which I wouldn’t recommend for small children as there’s only one handrail. The right trail is much easier and safer for little ones. Dog friendly on trail and at the beach. Beautiful lilies everywhere. Met some really nice people along the way too! Would highly recommend and anxious to do it again.

A day out for the family with trails of different distances. Well maintained footpaths and foot bridges over the lily ponds. A lovely clean beach with a water in let that is dog friendly. There are some steps and gradients so do not be fooled into thinking this is just a walk around the lily ponds as there is much more to offer. Be warned the car park is too small for the amount of visitors so you may have to wait for a space. The parking charge at the time I visited was £7 for the day which helps with the costs of the park and there is free toilets at the car park.

A remarkable and beautiful set of big lakes artificially created with various dams. Tranquil and full of wildlife (be patient and you might see the otters). Close to Broad Haven and Barafundle beaches with pubs at Stackpole and Bosherston and an NT tea shop at Stackpole Quay. Various NT car parks which are fairly expensive if you’re not a member

Beautiful area for a walk. From the pay and display car park we walked out to the head land and back on the other side of the ponds — 5km in total. Slightly undulating around the ponds but steep sections of sand up the headland.

Absolutely stunning Lilly ponds and beautiful walk around the ponds and down to South Broad Haven beach. Very unspoilt, had beach to ourselves out if season. Park at National Trust car park. Also a wonderful pub at Bosherston can walk from NT carpark it's just around the corner

Beautiful place, stunning walks leading to the beach and/or forests. So so lovely, very dog friendly, easy to navigate and I would highly recommend a visit. National trust car park available, easy to park.

Ample parking, paid on JustPark app. Dog friendly, off-lead, you might want the dog on lead for the narrower bridges though. We went in rainy, windy weather, the paths were ok to walk on without being particularly muddy and it’s pretty flat. You can walk a good distance, we probably did about 4 miles or so in a loop but could’ve gone further. Still pretty even in less than ideal weather.

Fascinating place, the chapel is cool but the rocks around it are absolutely magnificent. I can really imagine how spiritual being a hermit here would have felt and how wild the storms must have been. Free entry and car park (no overnight parking). Just be aware that it is a steep climb down to the chapel, and there are no official paths to explore the rocks, so you need to be able bodied to explore it.

A truly wonderful spot. We visited when it was dry and quiet, so it was perfect. But I can imagine it being not the best if busy or wet. Easy free parking right next to the steep steps. Fantastic views from the top. The chapel is magical and has an ancient, historical air to it. And an interesting background. Wander through the chapel and you have the beautiful rocky bay where you can easily pass an hour with a picnic. Just be aware that if you are planning to visit the adjacent Huntsman's Leap as well it is within a military firing range so access is prohibited when firing is taking place.

Worth the visit. This Chapel set in very unusual surroundings, in a rough cove. After you walk down the steps and through the Chapel exploring the rocks and rugged surroundings. Take a walk along the coastal path a little, not forgetting the view of the Chapel from the cliff top. There is no charge for this experience and another bonus is a sizable carpark which is also free.

Great little find, right next to the car park. Steep steps down but great views out the other side of the chapel. Bit of rock climbing if you want to get closer to the water, or just sit and enjoy the view. Nice flat/paved short coast path walk round the headland and back. Can venture further around if you wanted to. We grabbed the picnic stuff from the car and had lunch then other side of the car park on a big patch of grass looking out to the sea.

Interesting Hermit's cell, small chapel. Many many steep steps down to the chapel, there is a handrail, but care needed. Worth the climb though.

What a beautiful place, amazing views. Easy to park. Just be aware the Chapel is on the firing range property so you should check if the access road is open before visiting.

Fantastic hidden gem on the coast path. Walk down the steps to the chapel for an unexpected view of the coast. Enter the chapel via a small door, the chapel is in a lovely little cove. There is a car park right nearby the chapel, but I would recommend walking south along the coast path from National Trust Broad Haven South Beach Car Park, where there are toilets. Admittance to the chapel is free.

Certainly worth the visit to this massive Castle. So full of history. Walking along the battlements and up narrow spiral tower stairs, you can almost feel what it must have been like living in, and defending the place. Fantastic.

One the best visits to a Castle ever. From the customer service, tour guide. Wonderful cafe. This is everything a day out should be. Highly recommended 5stars are not enough. Do not go through going to vist somewhere in Pembrokeshire 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 without visitng Pembroke Castle. I loved the experience, exploring and meeting people. Today a American couple who loved the castle and History. Hall with the banquet, the fight scene was amazing. All in all this was up there to run a castle this is the bench mark. Starts at the ticket entry through the experience what a experience clap 👏 outstanding.

What a stunning castle quite a bit to see here, surprisingly big great to walk around and a picture in your head. Well worth a vist staff are polite grounds was quiet when we went only a handful of people so you could rest and really take the place in. Definitely worth a vist a bit to see and take on board really enjoyed our vist.

Pembroke Castle is an absolutely fantastic place to spend a few hours. The rich history hits you as soon as you walk through the gates, and there’s no shortage of things to read, look at, and learn. The castle is full of fascinating rooms to explore and impressive turrets to climb, each offering a new perspective and a sense of adventure. One of the highlights is the free guided tour, which is both informative and entertaining. The tour guides really bring the castle’s past to life with their knowledge and storytelling, offering insights you’d easily miss if you wandered alone. It’s a brilliant way to enrich your visit without spending a penny extra. The on-site coffee shop is a lovely bonus — small, welcoming, and serving genuinely brilliant coffee. Staff throughout the castle are incredibly friendly, adding to the overall warm and relaxed atmosphere. Practicalities are well covered too: toilets on site, plenty of bins, and easy navigation. Entry is only £12.20 per person, which feels like great value for what you get. There’s also free parking around the corner for six months of the year, and even during the other six months it’s still very affordable. Also we found a cave! I'll leave you with that! Whether you’re a history lover or just looking for something enjoyable to do, Pembroke Castle is well worth a visit if you’re in the area with a couple of hours to spare. Highly recommended!

Lovely castle with interesting history! We took a free guided tour with John. The tour took an hour and during John told interesting stories about the castle and its inhabitants. Quoting John, the tour was more about giving an idea how people lived back then and what life in the castle looked like. This suited us well and was very interesting (and funny)! We even had coffee at the castle restaurant, very good coffee and walnut brownie. Highly recommend a visit if you’re passing through Pembrokeshire! We parked at Commons car park (paid parking).

Very nice castle to visit well worth a 2 to 3 hour visit. What made the visit exceptional was the young lady who gave the free guided tour of the castle. She brought the history of the castle alive with the wonderful way she presented the history and what each building in the castle was used for and the time line, excellent.

Arrived in time for 3 pm guided tour with SUE. On arrival my hopes were low as the castle is a (substantive) ruin. From first words Sue brought it to life!!! My imagination was taken back to the real life experiences of defending the gate, the hustle and bustle and noise of castle life, and the incredible characters loomed large in front of me. Sue delivered a fact packed, humour tinged wealth of information. I could have listened to her all day. I learned a felt more connected to this ancient ‘ruin’ than ever before. Exploring after the tour was made relevant and exciting. So much to see. So many nooks and crannies, stairs, rooms and walkways. The views stunning. The scale of this Castle and Keep will loom large in my memory.

Nice blend of different areas for different ages, surprisingly NOT busy given it was a very rainy week. Nice and warm, waves more powerful than I expected. Changing rooms are a maze but plenty of room. Flumes are fun and again a bit more challenging than I expected - got stuck in a backwash(!) and the exit is a (small) drop so definitely a face full!

We had a good time there. Wave machine, outside lazy river, enough slides to keep older kids entertained. Locker rooms were kept clean.

Long weekend stay. The accommodation was great, golf carts are mind numbingly slow. Food is limited but the grill restaurant is good. The fast food on site is very average and expensive. Good kids activities and free things, the sky wires waa brilliant for the kids. Smokey's was like a bad kids school disco, dreadful food, not a BBQ, which you had to sing for but the staff and band tried to make it a fun night. The pool used to be the crowning jewel of the resort but looks tired and is starting to look old and ugly and in need of some updating. No cafe inside which is a huge mistake as if you don't swim there is nothing to do and it's uncomfortably hot in the dome. The changing rooms are disgusting, dirty floors etc and need cleaning every hour when busy.

Shows it's age... The pool needs a massive refurbishment, tiles broken, and the grout is black in many places... the flumes/rapids were a bit dissapointing... 3 flumes all pretty much the same, and the rapids were very very short. If it wasn't on the park, you'd go once and then probably not return

the music was so loud no one could hear each other talk. The djs mic was so loud he was inaudible just yelling, the music was screeching and way abouts the legal decibel. It’s a swimming pool we are not there to listen to bad 2013 tunes at absolute full volume. He was asked to turn it down multiple times including once when a little girl had a fit and ther was a medical emergency and he did for all of five minutes before cranking it back up to painful volumes. Genuinely felt like i was in a rave, in the worst way possibly. And the music along w him yelling and the screeching whistles from the lifeguards what are u guys doing.

Great facility with a total of 4 slides. 2 next to each other to race on a narrow and dark with the one on the right having a midway drop and the one on the left a tight turn finish. The other one of the 3 is lighter and remains in the pool area and quite slow...I stopped sometimes! The 4th slide is ceter parcs rapid-esque with two pools on the way down. Remember to put your hands under yourself to stop bumping your spine going into the first two catch pools. The height needed for all those slides is 1.10m Queues are not too bad either even at peak times. Rest of the pool is spacious and the pit on ges like pool volleyball at certain times that are fun The water is nice and warm! Changing rooms are the only bit that gets really busy. Enjoy!

Fab pool for kids to enjoy. Slides were good fun. Well manned with lifeguards

We've been twice now over 2 years, we were a bit disappointed to see drenched is still not open. Bounce wasn't open either. But we enjoyed the rest of the rides, my son loves megaphobia and speed. The food didn't look that nice but did taste good. It was a bit expensive for the food. They do need some new rides though. There wasn't many in the park which was weird as it was the school holidays, we went on the rides many times, megaphobia at the end of the day we just kept riding without the need to get off, it was great.

Really very nice theme park with some great rides for extreme sensation. Not much waiting time. Parking is good. Main restaurant is nice with quick service.

I went to this park today with my family, it was a chill day and I found it so peaceful and pleasuring! The rides and attractions hit the spot perfectly! But my downside was the chicken burger which charged £11 per person for a burger meal. The chicken was wooded but unevenly fried, I replaced it for a cheeseburger which was slightly better but the burger bar could do much better than what I experienced. Without being said, I had a fantastic time at the park! Id definitely come here again but during a sunny day!

Very good day for younger kids, it was a shame Drench was still not working as its a great ride but Speed and Megafobia are a big pull. Poor points would be a lack of maps, toilets and water filling stations (especially these days to save on plastic). Over priced food and a lack of food outlets as alot were closed. Well maintained park set in beautiful countryside.

What a beautiful park blended in with nature, perfect for familles with young children. We had a 9, 7 and 3 year old with us and they all had a great time. Us adults also had fun on the roller-coasters and the slides. We went on a rainy day and still managed to stay all day as there was no more than 10 minute queue per ride.

A fantastic day out. Park was extremely quite which is a shame but all staff were very friendly and helpful. Only drenched was closed until 2pm when it did then open. We took our own food so can't comment on quality of food however prices did seem a bit high for what was on offer. The park has had some basic work done to it since my last visit a few years ago. Although more is needed to improve the overall appearance of the park. With a new area and roller coaster due to open later this year hopefully there will be a increase in guest numbers. Overall a great visit with lots of rides due to no queues. The annual pass is a fair price for what's on offer and after 4-5 visits the cost of the pass has been covered. With the new A road built nearby getting to the park is much easier.

Free parking, there are some great rides, and fun for all the family. Queue times were not too bad, for the summer holidays, but I felt a mobile app would have made the day more enjoyable, so we could see queue times and find our way round easier. I also felt the park could be safer, had real concerns walking round. I do recommend a visit, and secure loose articles on megaphobia, as its really rough, and prepare to get drenched on drench.

Be sure to bring cash if you’re parking near the café, as that’s the preferred payment method—and spaces fill up quickly. The café offers a nice selection of baked goods and coffee. The beach is a wide, open stretch of sand, popular with dog walkers. If you’re just planning a stroll and to enjoy the views, around two hours should be plenty.

Nice sandy beach with good views across the estuary. Parking is good with a large overflow area at weekends. Parking machines take cash or you can pay by app. The café is pretty good and you can save a few pennies by asking for "yesterday's" pastries. Toilets available. The beach is large at high tide becoming massive at low tide, so be prepared for a long walk to the water, check the tides. The beach is mostly open to dogs, with the main swimming area excluded. RNLI are present 10am to 6pm. There is a bus stop at the car park entrance.

Dog friendly beach to the right hand side we went in middle of September, we went when the sea was out lovely and big beach loads of big puddles for stormy to go in n then have a dip in the sea. We walked bk up to the cafe Delicious ice-cream n latte . It closes at 4pm out of season so get one before it closes. Car park is cash £3 for 2 hrs , £4.50 for 4 hrs or u an use the pay by phone app download it before u get there.

Beautiful beach! huge! So much space for dogs to be kept apart. The lack of signal was a bit tricky but we plugged our car in and got the free 30 mins and then out on the beach we got 4G back to start the car charging and pay for longer. The cafe CRWST is great too, vegan magnums, donuts and hot choc. Toilet and water facilities by the beach too. Really great just a pain about the signal issue but looks like they’ve helped out with the free 30 minute ticket.

We spent 45 minutes at poppit sands. It was a nice little spot to let the dogs stretch their legs (as you go onto the beach, dogs have to go right)) Car park takes cash or paybyphone using a code.

Great beach! The dogs loved it! I was clean and there was a realy nice cafe near by with amazing cakes!

Nice open expanse of sandy beach with café and parking. Access in season would be poor with narrow roads. Pay and display. £6 for a day ticket. Lifeguard station present. Flat access to beach. RNLI shop sells buckets and spades, not sure on opening times.

What a fantastic day we had here. This park is very well maintained and the animals seem to be very well taken care of. There is so much space, out of season was a lovely time to visit as it was quiet enough to get plenty of time with the animals. We really enjoyed to steady walk down to the seal viewing area, we spotted a few and generally just enjoyed the beautiful surroundings! Definitely recommend, would love to visit again.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. We had some people with allergies in our group and they were great in the cafe, with good options from the adults and children's menu. There's a selection of farm animals and rabbits/guinea pigs you can feed, and a longer walk to see seals (we saw one!). Would definitely recommend.

We had a great visit to the farm park today. Reasonably priced entrance and cafe. Good food. Great outdoor playground with views overlooking the coast. Lots of different animals to feed. And best of all got to see 2 seals and 3 dolphins. A great way to see some of the north Pembrokeshire coastline with kids, with them being engaged in the walk

Such a good day out and really reasonably priced. The park itself if vast. There are the usual animals which you can feed with food bought on the way in. The play area is huge and there are loads of picnic benches. Reasonably priced cafe again with loads of seating. The highlight for us though was the walk to the headland, over looking Cardigan Island, where we sat for nearly 2 hours watching dolphins, seals and birds. It was absolute heaven.

Loved this visit with great well looked after animals and the most stunning location. We were very lucky to see seals and dolphins from the cliff top. Huge cafe and great large playground which kept our 5 year old independently entertained for 40mins. We only had drinks and a flapjack which was delicious. Would definitely visit again.

This place is excellent and well worth a visit...went about 10 years ago and just called again and it's better..we stayed in a motorhome and we were the only ones there but the actual farm is open to the public..The campsite is on a slight slope.. toilets and showers were clean..there's a very good size park for the kids and there's animals in the farm...there is a walk along the cliff edge accessed only from the site were it is possible to see seals and dolphins...we saw seals while we were there.it was £30 for 2 adults,2 dogs and electric and free access to the farm,park and walkway..there is also a good size cafe on site.. Sunsets are amazing over cardigan bay.. Definitely return..

A great day out here, there’s a large outdoor play area for kids and an indoor cafe with a small pool table, games and a small gift shop area. We came here to walk the coastal path which was worth the £5.90 per adult entry alone but I also loved seeing the animals. There are Guinea pigs, rabbits, chickens, cows, donkeys, horses, alpacas, pigs, goats and lots of sheep that love to be hand fed with the 90p bag of food you can buy on entry. The coastal path stretches further than we realised and the view was amazing, at the far end of the path we watched two seals in the water below, which staff told us was a common sight in that area most days along with dolphins.

We visited with my parents and my one year old daughter and we all really enjoyed it. You could hire a mobility scooter which was fantastic for my Dad who struggles to walk far (think it was £20 with refundable £30 deposit?). Also you could hire single/ double buggies if you needed. Everywhere is really accessible for wheelchairs/ buggies and there is soo much to see. You can get your ticket validated to visit again within 7 days, which we would have done had the weather not been so shocking the week we were away. Loads of animals and so many great play areas for children of all ages!! Even the cafe for lunch exceeded our expectations, thought it would be a bit basic but we all really enjoyed the food and the kids grazing platter was a great array of ‘picky bits’ for our daughter. Would really recommend!! We visited on a weekday outside of school holidays so it was relatively quiet which was great.

Just got back from an absolutely amazing family day out at Folly Farm Adventure Park and Zoo in Pembrokeshire, Wales. My wife, son and I have visited many family farms over the years, but this one is on another level! At first, we thought the admission price was a little steep, but once we arrived (around 10am) we realised just how much there is to see and do — we were genuinely pushed for time trying to fit it all in! From the petting barn, where you can get hands-on with friendly farm animals, to the zoo area where we got up close to the lionesses, every part of the day was unforgettable. My son was over the moon – it was the first time he’d seen lions this close (his favourite animal!) and it made the whole experience even more special. All of the animals looked really well cared for, and the enclosures were clean, spacious and beautifully maintained. You can tell how much effort goes into ensuring both the animals and visitors have the best possible experience. After exploring the zoo, we discovered the indoor fairground and soft play area — both were incredible! The fairground had all the classic rides, from dodgems and waltzers to carousels and tons more, bringing back such nostalgic memories of my own childhood. The play zones are thoughtfully split by age, so there’s something for every child. Seeing my son’s face light up was priceless. By the end of the day, we agreed the admission was absolutely worth it. If we lived closer, we’d 100% get the annual pass so we could visit again and try one of the animal experience days next time. Huge thanks to all the staff for such a wonderful experience — everything was clean, safe, friendly, and full of fun. If you’re looking for things to do in Wales or a family-friendly day out near Tenby or Pembrokeshire, I can’t recommend Folly Farm highly enough.

Lovely family day out for sure and with staying at the holiday park it was included in our price so even better. So much to see and do, all very well laid out, clean tidy and all children play equipment seemed well looked after and safe for us. The animals seemed happy and loved. Only down side I do think it is an expensive day out even with this included in our holiday, however I would still pay again for the fair ground when we go again.

Huge! We were very surprised at the scale of Folly Farm. We visited specifically to see the giraffes but enjoyed a long morning exploring and seeing the other animals in their large, well designed enclosures. You can see much investment and top class maintenance here. It is a big site, apart from the zoo there are farm animals, a fairground and plenty of indoor spaces if the weather is iffy. A wonderful place for families and anyone else for that matter. The site has good paths for pushchairs, buggies, mobility scooters and wheelchairs. Everywhere is accessible and there are plenty of toilets. You can even revisit for free within a week, just validate your ticket as you leave. We charged our electric car whilst in the park, 12 Pod points available at a reasonable 55p kWh. They are at the far end of the car park though so drop off passengers first.

I honestly love folly farm. It has so much to see and do. Perfect for couples or families. You can buy food there which is very nice. Overpriced but fine if you have the budget but easy to take a backpack with a picnic. Indoor fairground and outdoor fair rides are good fun but again, you need tokens which will cost extra. Even without those the animals are really easy to look at. The park is huge and the indoor play area and softplay and really great for big and young children. It's worth paying and returning in 7 days to get the most our of your ticket.

Love this place. Been many times in the last 2 years and never a dull moment. So many things to do and see. The animals all look very well looked after. Enclosures spacious, clean and have enrichment. So many things to go with the family. Old fashioned fairground rides stalls are beautiful . Softplayareas and parks full of fun. Will be back soon!

We spent the week at Folly Farm, staying in one of the Lodges on site. The lodge was really lovely, and access to the park was included, which meant we got to visit each day. The park was great for our kids - so many lovely play areas and lots of animals to see. We had a great time and enjoyed experiencing all the areas of the park - there was more there than we realised! We particularly loved the land train. We will definitely stay again.

Beautiful views. Beach canget very busy though. We avoided this and did the little hike to the top of the mound instead. Bring binoculars to see dolphins and porpoises. Car park is more than sufficient. If you're lucky the machine won't be working so parking is free. There's a little kiosk down the road to get refreshments and for toilet breaks. It's so peaceful doing the walking routes along the coast.

Small and secluded little sandy beach with some high cliffs to walk along. Little coffee shop is very good and a couple of benches to sit and enjoy the views.

This place is great a must if you're nearby. You can spend all day there. Sun and sea galore. Toilets shop attended parking what more could you ask for. Thanks National Trust. My £4 parking fee was money well spent.

Fabulous, sheltered beach near Cardigan. Plenty of parking (£5 charge), popular café. Toilets. Quite a lot of steps down to the beach so could be a bit challenging. Sandy beach. Allegedly good for dolphin spotting. The drive from Cardigan involves some very narrow roads with limited passing places so I deliberately avoided visiting at the weekend.

A gorgeous beach surrounded by hills. Since it was the weekend, it was a bit crowded, but we enjoyed it a lot. There is a big and spacious car park.

Just visit, don't hesitate. The best beach I've visited in Britain, simply stunning! Me and my young family has an excellent afternoon here and we'd certainly visit again in the future. Parking, toilets, food and drinks are available. The beach is accessed down 100+ steps so please bare this in mind.

A must to visit. Car parking available but you need wifi to pay so the cafe on the beach it the place to go to.Free wifi available..Great for kids and family

A museum with feeling a place of warmth facinating well presented a place not to be missed

It was a fantastic time at the Tin shed. The guys there will take you through time and you get to appreciate the change in times and season. An amazing time spent here with the kids.

Great place to learn about life 1920 to 1950 in wales Run by a couple who know there stuff and interested in what you had to recall on the ers. It was like visiting an old family friend and going through memories in their garage.

The people who run this wonderful little place are so helpful and full of knowledge about the 2 world wars . Well worth a visit. Excellent value for money

Well worth a visit. Don't miss the music events either but bring a cushion to sit on !! 😂

Fantastic visit-very knowledgeable and we will definitely revisit. Excellent value for money

Lovely people. Great venue. Thank you :)

Stopped off on our way to Tenby. I'm so glad we did. We'll worth the visit. Easy parking (chargeable). Nice walk along the estuary. We visited Dylan Thomas boathouse, grave, and writing she'd. Both easy reach from the main car park. There are a few eating places and a convenience store also.

Lovely and interesting spot where the great Welsh Poet lived later in his brief life. Accessible only by foot, but an easy 500m walk from the castle car park. Lovely views of the Taf Estuary. The site includes a nice little cafe with indoor and outdoor seating.

I didn't know much about Dylan Thomas's life, but it was amazing to be able to soak up the atmosphere of the place, where had lived and probably also had drawn the inspiration for his poetry. This added to the breath taking beauty of the surroundings scenery and nature had left a great impression on me and I am very pleased indeed and feel privileged for the opportunity of this visit.

Very well preserved step back in time Worth a visit if in the area We stayed at Dylan’s lodges a 10min walk away, after the boathouse we followed the small coastal path (open on low tide) round to the beautiful castle Very serene peaceful village

Although it is very plain and not a lot to see if you are into this man it is very interesting to see how the man lived and wrote from a little pokie room I may of missed a lot or not been that interested but it is a nice place to visit a 15 minute walk for most from the car park

What a beautiful and inspiring location. Visiting the Boathouse and surrounding area is so inspiring. You can't park at the location, but is just a short walk from the nearest car park.

We were married here on Friday . From start to finish , it was a lovely experience. From meeting Andrew a few weeks ago to organise the details, the communication was brilliant, he couldn't have been more helpful and lovely. On the day, the weather wasn't kind, Storm Amy set in but it didn't dampen things , it's such a beautiful location, to see the estuary a bit wild was wonderful! Camartheshire register office were also wonderful. The homemade cream tea was delicious, plenty of scones, clotted cream , jam and tea(and champagne 🍾 which we had taken ourselves) . We have half a giant scone left that they'd made especially for us, working our way through it! All in all a great day, Thank you to you all . Rhiannon &Rob

Another fantastic museum from Amgueddfa Cymru, which we visited on a wet school holiday day. There are hands-on activities (though, watch the manual carding - I caught my hand and bled!) and fantastic live demonstrations. It's not just a museum about wool (though, that's certainly the dominant theme). It's a museum about a way of life around an industry, and it's really well brought to life. The café even had gluten free Welsh cakes! And of course top-quality woollen blankets for sale. A really great place to visit.

My favourite museum all around Cymru!!! Everyone makes you feel so comfortable and welcome! You can see these big machines working as well, i didn't expect that! Clean toilets, parking, cafeteria, craft area for the kids, and a library with chairs to relax and all that for free! Of course you can donate and they deserve it 100%. You'll learn a lot! Thank you so much guys, we had an amazing experience!🐑

Such a great exhibit (and free!). Really interesting to see the machines that created the different clothes, etc. that are such a great part of welsh history. I found the plaques interesting and informative. Highly recommended.

Lovely to see they are taking care of their local history, displaying the machinery and educating the visitors to how the local wool resource was used to make clothing. They are still using same tools to make blankets and other clothing items to be purchased in the local shop. The entrance is free but there are voluntary collection boxes and NFC card pay points if you want to support their work. The staff in the shop and local cafeteria are very friendly.

It's definitely worth a visit. Well presented displays and original machinery. There was so much information regarding the history of the trade as to be almost overwhelming at times. A great place with very attentive staff. It is free to enter, and you can choose to make a voluntary donation without any pressure from staff.

We loved this museum. It showed the process from sheep to yarn, the machinery was amazing bought to life by very knowledgeable staff, facinating and informative. It has a lovely cafe and shop.

It is free to enter and the staff are friendly and informative. It was fascinating learning the history of the wool industry and actually seeing the old machines still being used to refine and spin the wool and then weave it into cloth.

A lovely hidden gem my little girl loved it. The staff were friendly and kind and went the extra mile very reasonable price. The pixie train was amazing. My little girl loved it and keeps talking about it now .The bigger train that you go on stops at the end off the line at waterfall that you walked down to which was a nice added surprise .they are working on extending the line to make it go to another little village definitely worth a trip if you got younger children or you’re really interested in railways .

A place for train lovers. There’s a few things to entertain the children but the real attraction is the volunteers and their love and knowledge of the place. A special mention to Alan who entertained my husband with a tour of the shed and old carriages. Yes it’s a little run down but that’s part of the appeal. We had four meals and drinks for £14! You’re not going to get that at any other attraction near by. The children enjoyed the crazy golf and play areas.

We love to visit railways whenever we are away as great to support these old lines. Boys had a lovely time playing on the park, crazy golf and the under cover soft play as well as going on the trains themselves. Was a wet day but didn't effect our trip

Absolutely great afternoon out with fair prices, friendly volunteers, immersive experiences and plenty to keep the kids busy. A particular mention to Alan who kept our 5 and 3 year olds engaged when showing us around steam engines and carriages under refurbishment in the engine shed. His stories were interesting, his jokes were cheesy and his contribution to our day made it really special. Highly recommend!

An unexpected treat. We came across this place entirely by accident - A quaint little narrow gauge railway, run by dedicated and charming volunteers. As we weren't expecting to come, we arrived just as they were about to close. We ended up taking the last run of the day, down to the end of the line and back. Lovely scenery with a couple of little surprising lurking for younger rail enthusiasts. Now being a little bit older, I tried to pass on the 'Pixie Train' miniature railway, but the volunteers would not take no for an answer. I'm glad they didn't, as it was a truly magical and wholesome time. Partnered with the soft play area and large green space, this is an ideal place to take little ones to with enough to do for most of the day. Also they have a model train set, which alone sets the bar high for me. Would wholeheartedly recommend.

Staff were friendly and happy to help. A nice little place for an afternoon visit. There were two trains, the main train that took us to and from a bridge with a stream and the second train being tinkerbells train through a little fairy land. There is also a little charity shop, children's play areas, miniature golf, and a little local train history part.

Lovely pixie train to see the fairies. A larger train takes you a short walk to a small waterfall. There is a small soft play. Rough and ready, volunteer run. A wholesome experience.

Absolutely loved it! Did the 90 minute trip and it was just brilliant! Saw lots of dolphins and a seal basking on the rocks, was 90 minutes of pure happiness. The guides were so lovely and gave lots of interesting information about the area, history and wildlife. Can’t recommend highly enough. Such amazing value for Money. Thank you SeaMor for a great experience

Absolutely stunning trip, well run, with very informative captain and wildlife expert on board. We saw lots of dolphins, and the sea bird colony was stunning too. Our 3 young children loved it all, and enjoyed the spray swell and sea experience! Thank you.

I will absolutely be going on a trip again. I went on the sunset dolphin spotting cruise on 12th August 2025. I went with a friend and my old dog. Perfect amount of people on the boat so everyone had a view. Almost immediately we spotted dolphins, many very close to the boat. We saw a lot on our trip and it was stunning to see them playing in their natural habitat. Obviously, they are wild animals so you are not guaranteed to see them despite many residing in the bay. The sunset was also amazing. It was over the harbour when we left & over the sea throughout the trip. It's an old pier so uneven in places so those with mobility problems (myself to some degree) need to take care, but the company are happy to assist and recommend the best trip for access according to the tide. That said the steps at the end of the pier are wide and with a rail and no big step onto the boat so fairly easy to navigate. I couldn't really hear the commentary, but I am a bit deaf, but I was happy just taking in the dolphins and the sunset. All the crew on board, docking & in the shop really friendly. I'll look forward to next time.

Fantastic sunset trip. Dolphins sighted around the boat throughout the tour. Lovely to see a mum with calf. The guides were friendly and informative and the scenery was beautiful even without the wildlife. Would definitely recommend.

We had an amazing sunset trip and were lucky enough to see dolphins, including a calf close to the boat. The staff were friendly and helpful, and we enjoyed a low tide boat transfer too!

What ana amazing experience highly rate this company we paid for the 1hr and 30 mins trip which is well worth £20 per person. Big shout out to our tour leader richard and the driver of the boat Jamie very friendly and knowledgeable about the marine life and I love how they show obvious passion for not only caring about sealife but respecting it. We saw atleast 6 dolphins, 1 atleantic grey seal, many seabirds and their nesting ground and othe marine life. Highly light worth it and would go again myself. Richard was very gentle when handling the wildlife and certainly knowing what he is talking about learnt loads today

We did the sunset dolphin watching trip and it was just amazing! The staff were super knowledgeable and really friendly, and we saw loads of dolphins, plus lots of sea birds, and learned lots about the local area and its wildlife. Will definitely go again when I’m back in the area!

Had a fantastic trip with these guys yesterday! The staff were friendly, polite and very knowledgeable and we were lucky enough to see dolphins within 10mins of sailing. Have to be really quick to catch them on camera when they breach the water, but we manged to snap a little glimpse of them. Amazing to see them and also all the different birds. The trip was great value compared to some other companies too.

We booked onto the 1.5 hour trip on the brand-new boat Suncatcher and from start to finish the whole experience was just fantastic. The booking process at the office the day before was quick and easy, with really friendly staff who clearly love what they do. The Suncatcher itself is brilliant – modern, comfortable, and well designed with an indoor seating area, full toilet facilities, and even a snack bar serving hot and cold drinks. It can seat up to 75 people, but on our trip there were fewer than 20, which made it feel really spacious and relaxed. The sea was a little choppy (it was October, so to be expected) but the sun was shining and the atmosphere on board was wonderful. Best of all – the dolphins did not disappoint! We saw so many, including the absolutely magical experience of them surfing the bow wave right beneath us. They came so close we could almost reach out and touch them. It’s something we’ll never forget. Sarah, who guided the trip, was absolutely superb – incredibly knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and clearly passionate about Cardigan Bay and its wildlife. She made sure everyone had the best possible chance of seeing the dolphins, pointing them out and sharing fascinating facts along the way. A big bonus for us was being able to bring our two Labradors along – the boat is very dog friendly, and they loved every second as much as we did! This was a truly special experience from start to finish – well-organised, welcoming, comfortable, and above all unforgettable thanks to the incredible wildlife encounters. We can’t recommend it highly enough – if you’re in New Quay, this is an absolute must-do!

We went for the 1.5 hr trip. Christian and Phoebe were amazing. They made the trip fun with their jokes and also shared a lot of information about the area. We got to see a lot of dolphins, seals and even huge crabs and a lobster from the pot that they had put out the night before. Its definitely worth doing and I would highly recommend it.

Really great experience. Went on the 90 minute trip . Be sure not to confuse the company with a similarly named one operating at the same pier. The weather was not amazing (heavy rain at times) but the female guides were very helpful, informative, and wiped down the seats regularly from the rain. They helped get our pram and dogs on/off the boat. Has an inside area in the boat too. We saw plenty of dolphins, which the guides pointed out to us, some of which came right up to the boat, absolutely amazing for pictures and viewing. Also got to see a seal too. We had a 3 years old daughter with us and the captain was so amazing, he let her sit in the captains seat and made her happy and feel special.

Absolutely wonderful! It was my 2.5 year old’s very first time on a boat and it couldn’t have gone better. The captain and crew are clearly experts regarding all things safety, weather, dolphins and sea-life. Even when we had to rebook due to the storm, Joanna and the staff at the phone were so kind and helpful. Seeing the dolphins was unforgettable, but even if we didn’t see any, it would have been great fun. New Quay is gorgeous in rain and sun. The sea watch charity was really welcoming to my son, lovely seafood and ice cream and cute shops. Lots to see and do, so we look forward to returning.

Great experience! The guides were very knowledgeable. We saw four dolphins near the end of the tour, which we thought were two parents and two calves. Would definitely recommend!

What a phenomenal trip - we went on the dreamcatcher for an hour. We were taken out and checked on lobster basket which had crabs and lobsters inside. I was able to touch a Velvet crab and hold a lobster, which was a highlight I didn't know I needed in my life!!!! We also saw a brown crab which was quite vicious and learnt a huge amount about those creatures before setting off again. We immediately saw dolphins, some with pups. The information given was a great level really insightful but digestible. The staff were all incredibly professional - super personal obviously passionate but felt very responsible. I can't recommend this trip enough!

My absolute favourite place. Summer or winter it never fails due the beautiful views. Loved seeing the sunflowers but I wouldn't pay especially if you have a large family.

I just love this heavenly place, winter or summer who says you need season's to come and enjoy the beautiful view or a great walk. For parking their is plenty of space and you pay by coins , I paid £4 for 4hours which was worth it. Was lucky this time round saw the beautiful wild ponies,an eye-catcher.june will be the sunflower season don't be missing that.A must go place.plenty to eat and drink at the local pub kids adults all will enjoy.

The prettiest walk down from the national trust car park, some areas are steep, but the steps help. The beach itself is very clean, beautiful, and dog friendly. You can see works head from the beach. The walk back up will get you panting but so worth it.

Beautiful beach, tons of shells washed up on the shore, just beautiful. Nice long stretch of beach you can walk along. It is very flat but the walk down to the beach is a steep incline. There is a bench half way to rest on half way. You can see worms head from the beach which you can access from the top of the bay and walk over the top of the cliff. There is a car park at the top which you can park in with decent prices, £3 I believe but national trust members have it free. Great day out!

Absolutely stunning beach! It's a bit of a steep walk down to the beach and back up but definitely worth it if you can. Gorgeous views from the coastal path at the top too. The beach is so big it didn't seem busy. Plenty of parking when we went too in the National Trust car park. Drive to it was a lot of single track roads, not fun but again worth it!

Absolutely stunning place - one of my favourite spots in Wales. Beautiful, massive beach, clean sea, lots of parking spaces (£6 per day). The only downside is to get there as the roads are extremely narrow at time and 2 cars won't be able to fit in next to one another, other than that it's just perfect for a sunny day out 😊 Also I would mention if you visit this place with someone who struggles with walking uphill/downhill I wouldn't recommend to go down the beach as you have to walk up/down a steep hill to get there.

Great for walks, picnics, horse riding, body boarding, fishing, running, paragliding , hanggliding, a large clean beach when the tides out with some nice hills. Good selection of cafes.

Booked a table for food and staff we friendly and accommodating. Three Evan's brewery beers on tap, so that was lovely to find. Dragon's breath curry was amazing and deep heat and not rubbish surface spices. Pizzas were a little large and perhaps too overloaded. Very dog friend.

Homely and very welcoming. All staff gave us a great reception. Pet friendly. Accommodation clean and comfortable. Breakfast very good as was our evening meal. Would definitely stay again. View from the front terrace which is we ate our breakfast. 10/10 Thank you

Have just visited the pub two nights in a row for food only, i didn't stay at the hotel so can't comment on that. The pub itself is lovely and has a really nice feel to it inside and out. The views from the front are exceptional and it's a great place to sit and have a relaxing drink. The staff are really friendly and the service is very good and quick. The real let down is the food unfortunately. It's such a shame because everything else is great. I had the pie of the day on my first visit which was bland and pretty cold too, the filling was actually cold. I tried the Dragons Breath Curry on my second visit. I found it watery and didn't enjoy the quality of Lamb used, it didn't really taste of curry, just a very spicy tomato sauce. I finished my meal both times so did't complain, it's obviously not inedible. However it's really expensive and 100% not worth the price. I wish they'd employ a decent chef and reduce the menu and do quality home cooked food. As is say though, the pub is lovely and the staff are friendly and doing their best, just a shame they haven't got better food to serve. I wouldn't eat here again unless i'd heard there had been a big change and improvement.

Wasn’t too keen on the pub, was a bit dark. Can’t explain why but didn’t like the atmosphere but good range of beers and good seating outside. The rooms which are on the other side of the car park were totally much better. Very pleasant reception staff, clean well serviced rooms. Extra comfortable bed, much better than pictures show on booking.com

We only ate at the inn, cannot comment on the hotel. We had 5 meals, all from the specials menu. The water buffalo burger was lovely, the chips ok (a little undercooked). The lamb and mint burger was a bit plain. Pie of the day was delicious and large, as were the lamb chops - 3 very nicely cooked and large chops with good veg and lovely gravy. We were slightly disappointed that there was no Sunday roast but enjoyed the meal despite this

Visited while staying locally for dinner Advised to book but there were lots of free tables Pub very rustic, hygiene appeared poor - sticky tables and floor Food very expensive (£20 burger & chips) Quality of food poor - burger very average, nothing like the photos on website! Doggy dinner (£5) a takeaway tub of rice and peas with a small amount of chopped meat Very expensive!! Service slow but staff appeared friendly and helpful Won’t be returning and don’t recommend

Lovely country pub with surprising varied menu. We had the Welsh faggots, Buffalo burger and Apple pie - all tasty and good portions. The live band playing outside the pub was a great bonus! Staff were friendly and got the feeling this was a mix of locals and not just tourists which was nice.

We fully enjoyed our visit to the National Botanic Garden of Wales. There was a good selection of gardens and greenhouses, and lots to take in and enjoy. The one thing that they could benefit from is more signage or information about their different gardens. Compared to other botanic gardens we have visited, this one was a little less informative. Our ticket we purchased was good for 7 days, and we did decide to come back in order to access the Birds of Prey center. Note, as of the time of our visit in July, the gardens no longer give a portion of the entry fee to the birds of prey center, so entry there is by donation, and it’s 3.50 per person for the bird show (well worth it). So while they are only accessible from in the garden, they are operating independently. However our visit there was a highlight for us.

Beautiful place to visit any time of the year, now been several times. About 5-10 minutes to get in depending on the time of year. Massive area to walk around and different walks for all capabilities. Disability scooter to hire and staff driven carts on offer. Tickets in advance i don't feel is necessary.

My husband and I visited the National Botanic Garden of Wales during the height of a storm, and surprisingly, it made the experience even more special! Despite the wild weather, we had such a fun and memorable day. The gardens looked dramatic and beautiful in the rain, and watching the water features come to life with the storm was incredible — the waterfalls and streams were really impressive. The Great Glasshouse was the perfect place to shelter for a while; warm, bright, and full of amazing plants from all over the world. Even though the weather was rough, the staff were friendly and welcoming, and there was still plenty to enjoy. We grabbed a coffee from the café and just watched the rain sweep across the landscape — it was oddly peaceful and very romantic. All in all, it turned out to be a wonderful and unforgettable day out. The gardens are beautiful in any weather, and we’d definitely recommend them for couples looking for something relaxing, different, and inspiring.

Beautiful gardens, well laid out, plenty of places to sit, relax, take in the flowers. The dome is really well laid out, very warm, but that is what it's there for to keep non native plants and trees in. Need more than one day there, tickets valid for seven days is an added bonus went back next day as was unable to see everything we wanted to. Would go again probably a different time of year.

Hidden gem in the area. I was surprised the place was not busier with how many well maintained the gardens are. The entry ticket is valid for a week, so we could return while in the area. There are great walks in the garden and around the lake. So many different flowers and varied wildlife to photograph.

The National botanic garden of Wales, is definitely worth a visit although for a one off visit slightly expensive. If you live nearby a yearly ticket would be highly advisable and I think you would get a lot of use out of it. The gardens both internal and external are superb , there is a nice cafe though a bit on the small side which can cause delays. There are lots of nice walks , though it is on different levels so getting the golf cart from reception to transport you may be advisable. There is a bird of prey centre who displays on site (for a small extra cost) and that is well worth a visit .

This has to be one of my favourite places to visit in Wales because it's utterly beautiful. Not just the flowers and plants that you see, but the views that reach far and wide across the rolling Welsh hills. It's tranquility at it's best - and now that they have dog friendly days (Mon & Fri) it's even better 🐶🐶. There is a cafe selling a range of food and drinks and a little gift shop (with reasonable prices) There is disabled parking and the main paths are disability friendly and mostly flat, there are toilets located near the cafe and quite a few benches dotted around if you want to take a seat and rest your legs or just take in the beautiful scenery! You can pay extra to get into the birds of prey center and watch the shows - the birds are magnificent so definitely one to do. If you prefer a longer amble in nature, head towards the waterfalls which are a pretty amazing sight to see. Adult Admission is roughly £16, you can buy membership for £60 which lasts for a year.

The Gower is beautiful at any time, but in the spring sunshine, it's perfect. So many little bays and beaches, charming little villages with a wealth of fantastic eateries with something to suit all tastes and budgets. If you haven't visited yet, add it to your bucket list. If you have been, you'll be back

Lovely area to visit,too much to seeing one day, really enjoyed my visit, beaches are stunning,lots of history in area

A genuine place of natural beauty, it's difficult to believe that Swansea is so close by once you head into the area. Multiple stunning beaches and views, even the villages seem to have been built with the scenery in mind. We will be back again soon

Oh my goodness the gower was incredible! We've just got back from a holiday and it was fantastic, From all the coastal paths to the incredible bays, Feels like a proper escape visiting the Gower

Absolutely stunning coastline in South Wales. Beautiful beaches, with plenty of hidden gems along the way, whether it's waterfalls, an old fortress or magical forests.

A beautiful place.. must visit with kids. Go to three cliffs bay and Rochilles bay for sure. These are a little bit of a walk to get to. Something to keep in mind for older people and people with younger kids . There are a lot of other beaches too which you can drive down to . Do try out Joe's ice cream and Papi's pizza.

I'm 86 used to visit the Gower and Rhossili beach as a child. One of the top beaches in the world. Still enjoy visiting. Worms head means Sea Serpent's head.

Great beach and good facilities, WC, cafes, even sell suncream in the shop and usual beach type stuff, boards and the like. BUT PLEASE BEWARE there are cameras and parking CHARGES applicable for out of hours parking!! The signage is poor and I would advise anyone who receives a notice to appeal on those grounds. We parked early morning as the gate was open but no one in attendance at the gate, we assumed there was no charge , there was no visible signage saying it was closed or signage to say penalty charges applicable for certain hours. We later obtained photos showing small signs at the perimeter of the parking area but the writing is not readable form 5ft so these are deemed not effective notification of charges. We later received a penalty charge notice. Please also note these are PCN Penalty Charge Notices and not Fines, the two are dealt with differently in law( use Google or AI agent such as grok/ chat GPT for details). Apart from that enjoy the beach, still worth a visit, just beware the charges!!!

The eastern end of Oxwich Bay, beyond the pill, is more remote and rugged than the hotel, car park and restaurant end. In fact, thinking about it, the only time I’ve driven into the bay is either to attend wedding events held in the marquee beside the Oxwich Bay Hotel, or to dine at the Michelin starred ‘Beach House’, otherwise I’ve either cycled in, which is a pacy wiggly descent, or walked in from Tor Bay or Nicholaston Burrows. The beach isn’t lifeguarded, which means that on occasion it becomes the playground for jet skiers, who launch off Knab Rock in Mumbles and head round to terrify bathers and SUP riders. Dog walkers seem to enjoy the vast flat expanse of sand, chasing the oystercatchers on the low tide line. However, the loveliest part of this bay is the nature reserve concealed in the dunes, with its great variety of ancient wildflowers, and wetlands that host a variety of birds, and if you know where to look, adders. Further along, the burrows have piled sand in front of the old cliffs, which have become overgrown with blackthorn and ivy. The beach is finally punctuated by the upturned Sedimentary limestone plates of Great Tor.

An absolutely stunning place to visit. Beautiful beach and not too busy when I was there

Car park £6, easy parking (on a week day)easy access to beach toilet facilities reasonable and just off the beach and dog friendly

At times I felt as though I had been transported to another planet. Perfect weather, Bank Holiday & barely another soul in sight. This planet was all mine for a few hours. Rocky landscapes, grassy ledges as soft as velvet & bluebell woodlands full of the aroma of wild garlic ready to flower.....

Took a mini bus of veterans out for the day, water skiing. It was an amazing day. Beautiful beach, food a bit expensive but good

Lovely beach on the Gower. Shame the parking is quite expensive but not the beach's fault!

Dinefwr Castle (Welsh: Castell Dinefwr; also known as Old Dynevor Castle) is a ruined castle overlooking the River Towy near the town of Llandeilo, Carmarthenshire, Wales. It lies on a ridge on the northern bank of the Towy, with a steep drop of one hundred feet to the river. Dinefwr was the chief seat of the Dinefwr dynasty of the Kingdom of Deheubarth. The castle is a Grade I listed building. The present castle is entered via a fortified entrance protected by a restored length of battlement. The short path from the car park gives an extensive view of the Towy Valley. The door admits the visitor to the main space enclosed by the walls, from which there are several stairs to the main battlements and towers. A narrow spiral staircase leads to a high tower, which gives extensive views of the deer park to the north and the Towy valley to the south and west. The castle keep is entered via the cellar at its base, but access to the circular walkway at the top can only be made via the battlement walk. Details such as the well and several garderobes are visible in the structure. There is a path around the base of the main structure to the north. The castle is now partially owned by the Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales (who do not charge for entry) and is managed by Cadw but lies within Dinefwr Park, which is owned by the National Trust. Visitors who wish to see the castle and are driving there, may park in the town and walk up to the Castle using the free Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales access route. If visitors walk or park in the National Trust site and are not National Trust, Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales or Cadw members there is a site entrance charge. There is a small free car park near the castle for disabled badge holders, but it can only be reached by a rough track through a field. Permission can be gained at the National Trust office to drive over the field up to the castle, weather, and conditions permitting.

It was raining, when we went. Despite the weather, and our squelching boots, this place was an absolute treat to find. Perched on the very top of a forest-covered hill, Dinefwr offers beautiful views (even through the rain!) for miles around. The castle is in fantastic condition, you can climb to every tower and turret, and every room is helpfully labelled for the curious traveller. It only costs £5 to park your car, and that's it! To top it off, the woods around the castle are magnificent. Thick enough to shield from the rain, nearly every tree is covered in moss and lichen, surrounding you in blissful green silence. 10/10, would go again just for the woods alone!

A good size car park with a lovely area for walking, with additional routes beyond the park. We had a small trek up to the castle which offered some stunning views across the valleys. We took the longer route round to the house through the ancient woodland and I'm sure in spring it would look stunning with the Bluebells in bloom. The house was charming and had lots of stories to be told. And a big thank you to Nigel for his knowledge on the house, he took my friend and I around to show us some interesting details held within the structure of the building and paintings. It was a true pleasure. We had a lovely lunch in the café which was clean and tidy. It will be a place I will visit again.

Well worth coming here just for the absolutely stunning views in all directions. Breathtaking. The castle is ruined but there are ramparts and tunnels to explore. It really captures the imagination. The climb to the tower is not for the faint-hearted! Lovely little circular walk, takes one hour. You won’t regret fitting this walk in.

Amazing castle hard to believe something this good is free to visit, it's a long uphill walk from the carpark through some old woods but definitely worth it, whole site is dog friendly, you can walk all around the tip of the walls and there are some amazing views,

Fantastic. £5 to park. Get access to the estate, castle, woods and deer park. Lots of walking. Super beautiful, big trees, open meadows, well worth a visit. Separate price for the house. Has loos and a cafe too!

Excellent small castle with stunning views. The walls and towers are all climbable and give amazing views of the surrounding countryside.

Im not a NT member and I found the tours good value for money. It is a small location, not an extensive set of tunnels to explore but the tours are well led, informative and fun. Its a super location with other walks also available from the same area. Essential to book a tour rather than just turn up, but I'd recommend it to visitors or locals looking for a good half day activity.

An excellent experience of a rare Welsh gold mine. The are 3 different tours based on your mobility, and interest in Victorian or Roman history. The tour guide Nevil is exceptional and really engages people of all ages. The wider mining buildings on display show a remarkable age of engineering. A one of a kind experience! It's highly recommended.

Myself and my youngest son went for a short trip through Wales and made a pitstop here! We are National Trust members so we got in for free! There was free parking and it was amazing!!! Honestly the tour was incredible 👌👍🙏 we had a fabulous time! We went on the Victorian tour and it was really good 👍 there was another dude on our tour that did both tours that day, we couldn't because it was fully booked but he said he preferred the Victorian one so that was a win! Sure they are both fab though! 👍💯 Lastly BOOK IN ADVANCE!!!! We did but some other people didn't and got turned away! Definitely book it! Very busy!

Fascinating visit, make sure you book one of the guided tours on the NT website. We went on a guided tour of the Roman gold mines with Nivil, who gave an excellent, informative tour. We then had a lovely walk around the estate on a well signed path. Hopefully we will be back soon to do the Victorian gold mine tour, and to do one of the longer walks.

Fantastic day spent at Dolaucothi. I came here 30yrs ago when I was a kid and enjoyed it so much I wanted to bring my family back to experience it again with me. We did both guided tours of the Victorian and Roman mines with Neville and Eddie, they were both fantastic tour guides.

Was recommended to visit hear by the ladies in the visitor centre at Llandovery, excellent recommendation!!! Had a great day, looking round the yard and visiting the gold mine and exited up the old Roman steps, our guide Clive was great very entertaining, would highly recommend!!

Missed the tours but a qr scan trail was brilliant. 2 to 3 min clips whilst you're stood in an area. Historically important site, pre roman, roman and victorian. Would like to go on a tour another day. £6 to get in, with out person tour. Toilets and hot drinks

Stunning ruins with incredible views of the valley all around you. Not only do you get to witness the breathtaking scenery from up high, but you also get to travel down below into the caves! Take lots of care while you're here, as the only staff on site is down at the ticket hut. When you're up on the cliffs or down in the caves, you have to look out for yourself and be very careful. Some of the steps in the cave are slippery and the ceiling can be low in places, plus it's very dark so bringing your own lighting is essential. The cafe and giftshop by the car park was lovely, we very much enjoyed the cakes there.

Fascinating Castle to visit. The ruins are not as good as others we have visited but the tunnels and cave are certainly unique and worth the visit. As well great views and a good walk around the base of the cliff there were cave spiders and Herald moth to be seen below the castle.

Brilliant castle, we visited it on purpose way along the Beacons Way walk, from the Black mountains Quarry carpark which was very beautiful but there are closer carparks if you don't want to walk that far. It is a great castle to visit, kids could run around in there for ages. There's like nice walkways and views too and the best part is the amazing cafe at the entrance! Great teas, coffees, cakes and I'm pretty sure they do food too. Well worth a visit if you are in the area.

Absolutely beautiful place. The walk around the castle is stunning, the vuews are to die for. The homemade dishes and cake are spectacular. If you are in a group, order food first and then come back to it ready for eating. It has its own chapel for weddings. The barn is a superb place to hold a wedding feast too. x

Lovely ruins with great 360° views. What makes it truly unique is the cave system underneath but this isn't lit so don't forget to bring a torch with you. There's also no facilities at the castle so if you have younger children make sure they've gone to the toilet before heading up.

Nice castle on top of a hill. The views from there are so beautiful and is very peaceful. The only dowside is the price, £7 per adult is quite high to the some ruins

So so beautiful!! Popped here this afternoon no walking gear I may add and it was stunning the roads to the castle are very tight and narrow but it’s so worth it. There’s a decent sized car park and a cafe at the bottom. Lovely walk up I did with my dog as its dog friendly and only £7 entry for an adult well worth it for the castle and the beautiful views

•Soft play: great soft play! Our 1.5 year old loves it. I just really wish the staff would enforce the under 3 area being for under 3’s only. Older kids muck around in there, particularly in the ball pit, making it unsafe for our 1.5 year old to use. This has been the case on a couple of visits. A real shame. •Toddler pool: a really great pool and area. The toys provided are so great, thank you. It’s just way too cold. We dress our toddler in her wetsuit but she still shivers. Please consider increasing the temperature. Thank you!

Overall the place it’s nice. We came for a sport event with a lot of people. Over 10 different countries. and the bathroom were generally clean but there were a LOT of people. The gym caterers to young the generation; however, they have pool 🏊 strength and mobility type classes for older generations as well. The staff is very nice too. My daughter had a great experience and made some new friends from UK 🇬🇧

Superb! We are here on a lil break away and my 15 year old son still loves to swim. The wave pool was brilliant, as was the lazy river. We didn’t go on the slides but these looked ace! The lifeguards were absolutely brilliant, so professional and really responsive to everything going on around them. Felt really safe and if I had a small child or group of children with me I’d have been so reassured by them. Great team of young people. Food and drink in the cafe was good and reasonably priced. We’ll definitely be coming back! Thank you ☺️

Good facilities but the water is too cold. My 4 year old would not go in the larger pool due to the temperature so it was a bit of a waste of money for us. Fine for adults but a bit cold for younger kids lots of others were saying the same. Unfortunately we will travel to Cardiff international pool next time as this is the second time it’s happened at LC2. Very helpful staff at the soft play and cafe.

Spend £27 to take my 5 year old swimming in a freezing cold pool. Her lips were blue and her poor jaw was chattering. The jacuzzi (that was barely warm) was filled with people trying to keep warm. The changing room temp was also freezing. Awful experience. Staff was lovely and give us entry to the play area, but it’s such a shame.

We tend to use this as an afternoon activity on our way home from Pembrokeshire. The waterpark is a great place to spend a couple of hours swimming, bobbing around and sliding. The master blaster always has the longest queue but we've never waited more than about 15 minutes in line. We love the waves and the lazy river too. It's a firm family favourite for us.

We had a great time here. The wave machine is as good as ever and the slides excellent. Had a hard time getting our 6yr old grandson to leave. He'd have stayed in all day!

An outstanding beach. Wales does it again! This is a really lovely beach which is well worth a visit. It’s clean and spacious. It has places to sit on the steps if you don’t want to go on the sand. The sand is great for playing and building! The sea was not cold (temperature was 18 in the last week of July). There are play areas right next to it; one for toddlers, for older children and an aqua park which is a must-visit. There are a few places to eat nearby (Marco’s) which are a standard fare. There was nowhere to rent umbrellas or loungers but you can buy buckets and spades at the RNLI gift shop which is just next to the ferris wheel (I am not sure the ferris wheel works as it was never on when I was there). I would personally come to this beach again, definitely one to come back to.

Beautiful long stretch of clean sandy beach, plenty of parking/disabled parking. Some little cafes and shops along the sea front serving some really tasty food.

The beach is nice but the sea is disgusting 🫣 I would not recommend swimming in it ,it is brown. There is a cafe, fair ,big wheel, ,free toilets and playground near the beach which is good, some free parking and some paid parking.

Last time I was at Aberavon beach was 1974. I will be coming back in the summer to have a better look around.

Lovely beach and Francos chippy is yummy. Can take dogs to the far end of the beach during the summer. Really nice day out

Nice beach. Not pretty, but great for a day with the kids which is what's we went for. Loads of facilities- parks, splash pad, chip shop, ice creams, toilets, funfair (seasonal). The sand itself was very clean with no rubbish or seaweed. The sea was a little polluted, I'm not sure what with exactly but looked a little 'frothy' and left brown muddy, bubbly patches on the sand, that's the main reason for loosing a star. The beach is huge so I doubt you'd ever feel crowded. Lots of cheap parking.

Love this place, fantastic to wander along the beachfront/promenade. Regular events from Triathlons to fairgrounds. The leisure centre is also a lovely place.

Really enjoyable day. Boy my boys enjoyed the caves, dinosaurs and farm. They especially liked the water panning which was free. Lots to do and see and dog friendly (apart from the farm park) Be aware though that in places they walk around the area is very steep, both up and down although pathways are very safe. Views from the top were amazing. The little train from the car park to the main entrance was a great start to the visit. Would definitely recommend.

Overall this was great because of the beautiful setting, animals, and Cathedral Cave especially. *Not a suitable place for anyone with mobility issues!* The dinosaurs and gimmicky bits were quite tired and dated but didn't affect the overall experience. We spent a couple of hours here so it isn't quite as huge or a full day out as it looks online. Maybe if you have kids and do ALL the activities you might get a full day out. Dan Yr and Cathedral Cave are quite grand but the bone cave was tiny so we were in there about 5 minutes even when we listened to the audio in there. Takes longer to walk to it and back, it was the size of a large room. That specific cave is not worth it for those with limited mobility issues and it is not easy to walk to it bent over for some time as it's so low! The train running from the farm and shire horses to the main entrance and back is a brilliant addition. It's free too (can donate for air ambulance in cash boxes if you like). Runs every 5 mins and a nice view of the stones from it. No toilets at farm park but easy to hop on train back up to loos. Very very steep hills to walk up to 2 of the caves so you need to be relatively fit.

Booked here as looked good. Well definitely worth the money. The history of the caves was good, only thing couldn't hear the story properly. Came out and saw the dinosaurs. There is alot to see then walk up into the iron age village and into cathedral caves. The whole experience was brilliant. On the paths is dinosaurs some moving which was fun. There is 350 dinosaurs in total. We were there for 2 hours and would still go again. So much to see and is a good day out for all ages. There is a shire horse and activity park, we didn't go down there but only because was raining. There is accommodation which is through hoseseason. Also a campsite. Cafe is good and food good, reasonably priced. Tickets for the showcaves is worth it. Looking forward to going again. Plenty of parking.

All 3 Caves were amazing specially Cathedral Cave which had stunning views, much broader and had beautiful waterfalls in it. The Jurassic Park was also well managed and dedicated to Morgan Bros who founded those caves and all the fossils that were discovered in it. The Farm is also well managed and mostly animals are roaming free which was very nice as an experience for our kids and it’s not too crowded which makes it more safe from animals.

Very good day out for the whole family! Just make sure to wear suitable footwear as you will walk a fair distance. The children loved walking through the caves, throughout the caves are small displays and speakers telling a story so its educational, i founs this very interesting. And to finish the day off you get to walk round a huge field with a number of different animals casually walking round with you letting you pet them. I would highly recommend for all ages and will definitely visit in the future! 10/10

We had a great few hours here - visited for the caves and knew there were 'a few' dinosaur models around but hadn't realised quite as many dinosaurs. It's half caves, half dinosaurs but also a farm area with lots of animals and indoor and outdoor play areas too. So loads to keep the kids entertained. The caves were amazing too - 3 to visit in total, the first one was quite long and really interesting, the second one was huge, really impressive with a very pretty waterfall inside, and the third one wasn't so special but a great scenic viewing platform on the walk up to it. We didn't eat as had already taken sandwiches in but the cafe looked good and very reasonable, lots of lunch options.

There’s so much to see! From the incredible caves, to the almost endless number of dinosaurs, and all the animals at the bottom of the hill many of whom are friendly enough that you can pet them! The cafe was bustling and well organised with a buzzer system, they offered vegan nuggets and chips and vegan tart (chocolate or lemon).

A wonderful day out for all of all ages. We were impressed that whilst there was an £8 parking charge everything else was free. The site is comprised of a castle with park & gardens, the ruins of a Norman (and earlier) Abbey/Monastery, a petting farm, adventure playground & much more. Plenty of cafes & toilets. A must attend if in the area.

Peaceful and well kept with a large deer herd, nice walks and plenty of activities: small train, Go Ape, pedal go-kart rental, canoeing, archery, axe throwing. Note that these are all at extra cost and some need to be pre-booked. Castle (really a stately home rather than a traditional castle) is imposing but unfortunately very little beyond the main staircase is open to the public. Seems like a missed opportunity and it was a shame not to be able to explore it properly. One star lost because of a couple of little niggles: litter bins almost non-existent, car parking very expensive (flat rate of £8.50).

Margam Country Park is a beautiful and exciting place to visit, offering something for everyone across its 1,000 acres of parkland, gardens, and woodland. The park is full of natural beauty and wildlife, including the best deer herd in Wales, making it perfect for nature lovers. There are plenty of walking and cycling routes to explore, as well as coarse fishing on Furzemill Lake for those who enjoy a peaceful day by the water. History fans will love the park’s stunning 19th-century Tudor Gothic mansion, Margam Castle, along with the elegant Orangery, the 12th-century chapter house, and the fascinating Margam Stones Museum. Every part of the park tells a story, blending history and nature in a truly special way. Families and adventure seekers will find plenty to do as well. The Adventure Playground and Fairytale Village are perfect for children, offering creative play spaces full of fun and imagination. The Farm Trail lets visitors meet friendly animals like ponies, sheep, and pigs, while those seeking excitement can try the Go Ape Treetop Challenge or join activities at Margam Park Adventure such as kayaking, canoeing, archery, and raft building. There are also great options for mountain biking, orienteering, and geocaching, plus a small train that runs through the park. With a gift shop, tearoom, picnic areas, and regular events, it’s easy to spend a whole day here. Dog-friendly and full of charm, Margam Country Park is a wonderful place to enjoy nature, adventure, and family fun all in one beautiful setting.

Margam Park is truly a gem. The grounds are breathtaking, with sweeping lawns, peaceful woodlands, and landscaped gardens that feel like something out of a fairytale. The historic castle stands proudly at the heart of the estate, its striking architecture making it a stunning focal point for any visit. The Orangery is absolutely beautiful—filled with natural light and surrounded by incredible views, it has a timeless charm that makes it feel so special. We love it so much that we’ll be getting married there in 2027, and we can’t imagine a more perfect setting.

Beautiful estate with so much to see and do. I was here when Apple Day was on and loved the event. Stunning grounds and gorgeous buildings.

A lovely park. The castle was closed when we visited, but the surrounding parkland is beautiful. Didn't get to go around everything but it was a pleasant stroll around. Food was tasty and reasonably priced.

We had the absolute best time at Margam Parc Spooky Time event! My 12 year old and I spent the entire time screaming pretty much! The actors are incredible and are present throughout providing plenty of jump scares and entertainment! .. I genuinely cannot fault it and look forward to going again next year! Theres a nice little fair with rides, food and drink stalls included as well. Would highly recommend Scream/ Spooky Time events to anyone who wants to get in the halloween spirit!

Lovely walk and some amazing scenery along the way. The waterfalls were brilliant however it does get quite busy which detracts from the overall experience somewhat

Such a lovely place. I love this place very much. Everything is cover with green and green. You will feel peace in your heart after watching this beautiful nature.

Brilliant hike. Our family of four spent about 3 and a half hours here. Don't skip any of the waterfalls....they are all worth it. Wish we had brought swim gear!

A great day out. The waterfalls are beautiful. It can get very busy. Car parking was £6 all day.

stunning hike to see the waterfalls. definitely better than expected. my top tip is to bring snacks with you as there’s picnic benches dotted around the route, and plenty of spaces to sit and eat - there’s also a food van by the car park which was very much appreciated at the end of the hike.

Stunning waterfalls and fresh water swimming. Prepare for 180 steps down and back up for the waterfall you can go behind and swim in.

Four Waterfalls Walk is located in South Wales, within the Brecon Beacons National Park. It features steep woodland trails with color-coded routes, limited parking, and no toilets at the falls — but it’s a stunning hike through Waterfall Country with rich natural heritage. The postcode for the Four Waterfalls Walk is: 📍 CF44 9JF — this corresponds to the Gwaun Hepste Car Park, one of the main starting points for the trail near Ystradfellte, South Wales. You can use this postcode in your SatNav or map app to reach the correct parking area 🌟🌟🌟🌟 Four Waterfalls Walk — A Scenic but Tricky Trail in Wales’ Waterfall Country I recently explored the Four Waterfalls Walk in Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park, South Wales — and while the views were absolutely worth it, navigating the trail was a bit of a challenge. The estate is packed with waterfalls, and it took some luck and a saved trail board to find the correct route to all four falls. 🗺️ Trail Info & Navigation The walk covers roughly 6 miles round trip, with steep woodland paths and uneven terrain. Trails are color-coded, but signage can be confusing — especially at forks. Some guides at the start help explain the route if you want to see all four waterfalls: Sgwd Clun-Gwyn Sgwd Isaf Clun-Gwyn Sgwd y Pannwr Sgwd yr Eira (you can walk behind this one!) -See Photos Be cautious: trails can be slippery when wet, and some waterfall edges are steep and potentially dangerous in bad weather. Good footwear is essential. 🚗 Parking & Access Parking is limited, but we got lucky with a spot within 5 minutes. Staff help guide you to overflow areas if needed. Main access points include: Gwaun Hepste Car Park Cwm Porth Car Park Clun-Gwyn Car Park No campervans allowed at some sites. 🚻 Toilets There are limited toilet facilities at the car parks, but none at the waterfalls themselves, so plan ahead. 🚆🚌 Getting There By Car: Located near Ystradfellte, accessible via narrow country lanes off the A465. By Train: Nearest station is Aberdare, followed by a taxi or local bus. By Bus: Services from Brecon or Neath may connect to nearby villages, but walking or taxi is needed from there. 🏞️ Location & Ownership The walk is part of Waterfall Country, a region with the highest concentration of waterfalls in the UK. It’s within the Brecon Beacons National Park, managed by the Brecon Beacons National Park Authority. The land is publicly accessible but protected for conservation. 📝 Final Thoughts This is a must-visit for nature lovers, photographers, and hikers — but be prepared for a physically demanding trail with limited facilities. The waterfalls are breathtaking, especially Sgwd yr Eira, where you can walk behind the curtain of water. Just make sure to check the weather, wear sturdy shoes, and grab a trail map before you start! 📍 Location: Near Ystradfellte, South Wales 🎒 Tip: Bring water, snacks, and a printed trail guide 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Suitable for: Active families, hikers, and adventure seekers Source : co-pilot

Booked a tour which lasted about an hour, Sarah was a super friendly guide and very informative we sampled a couple of different whiskeys at the end of the tour you could choose to try the gin or vodka instead.

Went as part of a Welsh speaking group, absolutely fantastic tour guide Sian who did the tour for thr first time in Cymraeg. Extremely clean place and the tasting st the end of the tour was lovely and although not a whisky drinker I could definitely enjoy the smooth taste of Penderyn over ice.

It was really neat to visit the very first distillery in Wales. My brother and Dad have loved Penderyn for years, so it was really nice to stop and check it out! We did the tour and learned so much! The lady who gave the tour was really kind and a great guide! We got to walk around the whole distillery as she explained the process. The tour came with 2 complementary tastings at the end and we ended up getting some gifts to take home.

Well worth a visit. We have done a tour with our guide Florence and learned a lot about how a whisky is made along with very interesting facts about the Penderyn distillery. Rounded up perfectly with a tasting at the end.

Great place to visit. Take a tour and learn a little about the way whiaky is made in Wales, plus get to enjoy the taste of this Welsh gold. Loads of variety available from the Gold range and the icons of Wales series. They also offer distillery bottles that are only available from the 3 shops and not in other outlets or online.

I had the pleasure of visiting Penderyn Distillery in the beautiful Brecon Beacons on October 10th, 2023. This independent distillery is a hidden gem for whiskey enthusiasts and anyone interested in Welsh history. The distillery tour provided a fascinating insight into the art of whiskey-making, starting with a warm welcome from our knowledgeable guide. We explored the entire process, from milling and mashing to distillation, even getting a close look at their unique Faraday stills. The educational component was well-structured, offering a glimpse into the history of whiskey-making in Wales and the broader Welsh heritage. Penderyn's dedication to quality is evident, as they produce small quantities of exceptional malted barley spirit that matures into some of the smoothest malt whiskies worldwide. Not only did we learn about their outstanding single malt whiskies, but also about their other products like Merlyn Cream Liqueur, Brecon Five Vodka, Brecon Gin, and Siddiqui Rums. The tour concluded with a delightful tasting session, allowing us to sample two of their products or take home a miniature bottle. The gift shop had a variety of offerings for souvenirs and gifts. One tip for future visitors: It's wise to pre-book your tour online to secure your spot. Also, remember that the production floor is not accessible to under 14s or wheelchair users due to safety reasons. Penderyn Distillery is a must-visit for whiskey lovers and anyone looking to appreciate the craftsmanship and heritage of Welsh whiskey-making.

Great little distillery with some excellent whiskeys and very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Loads of interesting history on the terrain and water source. They also do their own gin and other spirits. Highly recommend.
