Ok, yes it's true - Wales can be wet. It's not always wall to wall glorious sunshine and stunning blue skies, although there's nothing more beautiful than West Wales on those perfect summer days. But if there's one thing we can't guarantee here, it's good weather. So if it does happen to rain, to some extent it's a case of just getting on with it... as Alfred Wainwright famously said in his 1973 book Coast to Coast, "There's no such thing as bad weather, only unsuitable clothing." As adults, there is a wealth of museums, galleries, castles, cathedrals and shopping on offer, or you could try some of the myriad water-based activities nearby that will get you wet anyway. If you have children, however, and you don't want them to get all soggy, then you'll need some suggestions.  7 Indoor Options
1. Folly Farm Adventure Park and Zoo Located near Tenby, about 40 minutes from us is Folly Farm which has a wealth of outdoor fun: plenty of animal enclosures to walk around and some outdoor rides.

The extensive coastline and miles of unspoilt countryside provide all manner of options for fun and exciting activities. Either have a go yourself, or if you don't have the experience or the gear there are several local businesses which offer both. Pembrokeshire itself lays claim to the invention of coasteering, which is a scramble along cliffs both in and out of the water - a combination of the words 'mountaineering' and 'coast'.  4 Options Near to Trenewydd Farm
