Discover the Magic of Pembrokeshire
Walking | Cycling | Bird Watching | Beaches | Mountains | Days out | Wildlife | Dolphin-spotting | Family Time - Pembrokeshire Has Everything.
Pembrokeshire draws people back again and again for good reason. The coastline is dramatic, the countryside feels wide open, and there’s a real sense of character wherever you go. Known in Welsh as Gwlad Hud a Lledrith the land of magic and enchantment, it more than lives up to its name.
You can fill your days however you like. Explore historic forts and castles, take a trip on a steam railway, or head out for walking, cycling, and wildlife spotting along the coast. For something more active, try coasteering, which started right here in West Wales. If you prefer a slower pace, there are seaside towns, gardens, galleries, and great places to eat all within easy reach.
Whether you want adventure or a relaxed day out, it’s all here, and it’s all easy to enjoy from your base at Trenewydd.

Villages and Towns

Located on the North Pembrokeshire coast, Trenewydd is close to the charming villages of Moylegrove (Trewyddel) and St Dogmaels (Llandudoch), as well as the ancient market town of Cardigan (Aberteifi). St Dogmaels was named one of the "Best Places to Live in Wales 2022" by The Times, so why not head for the working watermill for flour or homemade bread, stopping at the Benedictine Tironensian Abbey which was founded in 1120 and its restored Coach House Visitor Centre for cake and coffee; there is also a small supermarket, a Post Office, an excellent fish and chip shop and a community pub, The White Hart.
Cardigan has a vibrant high street full of independent shops, cosy cafés, excellent restaurants (including a Michelin-starred gem, Yr Hen Printworks), and the beautifully restored Cardigan Castle with its riverside gardens, exhibitions and events. Perfect for relaxed browsing, a coffee stop, or a special meal out during your stay. TimeOut recently hailed Cardigan as one of the UK’s top destinations, praising its creative flair and fascinating history. There are plenty of interesting and unique shops, places to eat, and of course the castle to visit. Narberth, St David's, Aberaeron, and Tenby are within easy driving distance. |
Stunning Coastline

Just beyond Trenewydd lies the world renowned Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, with its dramatic cliffs, sandy beaches, and craggy coves.
The Pembrokeshire Coastal Path, ranked by National Geographic as one of the most beautiful coastal stretches in the world, offers endless opportunities for exploration, with many beaches nearby welcoming dogs including our local Poppit Sands. |

Abundant Wildlife
|
|
West Wales is a haven for wildlife, with a remarkable variety of species found across its coastlines, woodlands and wetlands. The skies are regularly filled with buzzards and red kites, while the dramatic cliffs provide nesting sites for seabirds such as puffins, guillemots and peregrine falcons.
The waters of Cardigan Bay are truly exceptional and are home to one of Europe's most important populations of bottlenose dolphins, making this one of the finest places in Europe to see dolphins in the wild. Dolphins can often be spotted from the coastline around Mwnt, Cemaes Head and New Quay, or even more closely on one of the many wildlife boat trips available (ask us about a guests' 10% discount for New Quay's Dolphin Spotting Boat Trips). The bay is also home to grey seals and harbour porpoises, with occasional visits from larger marine species including basking sharks, sunfish and whales. For nature enthusiasts, the nearby Teifi Marshes Nature Reserve is a treasure trove of wildlife, with peaceful boardwalks and hides offering opportunities to spot otters, kingfishers, dragonflies and a wonderful variety of wetland birds (the BBC's Autumnwatch was filmed here in 2022). |
Dark Skies and Stargazing
Wales is one of the best places in the UK to experience truly dark skies, with several internationally recognised Dark Sky areas where light pollution is minimal and the night sky comes alive. On a clear evening, the stars feel brighter, the constellations sharper, and the whole experience far more immersive than in built up areas.
Just a short drive away, Poppit Sands is one of eight designated Dark Sky Discovery Sites along the Pembrokeshire coast. It’s an ideal spot to take in the night sky, with wide open views and very little artificial light. On the right night, you can see the Milky Way stretching across the sky, along with shooting stars and countless constellations. It’s a simple but memorable way to end the day, whether you head out for a dedicated stargazing trip or just take a moment to look up and take it all in.

Absolutely magical stay! We stayed at the chalet and it was a truly fantastic getaway. When we arrived, the hot tub was already warm and ready for us – it was the perfect way to relax in the evenings. The Shepherd’s hut itself was beautifully cosy and had absolutely everything needed for a comfortable stay for two. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and while there was a large TV on the wall, we didn’t switch it on once – we preferred watching the stars above us instead. There were plenty of sockets for all our devices – such a thoughtful touch! The fire log setup was brilliant, with kindling and logs all ready to go. The kitchen was super well-equipped – we had everything we needed to cook, including wine glasses, champagne flutes, and even plastic cups for the hot tub. The heated pool was amazing – even though it was 18C outside, the water felt lovely and warm. And the views… absolutely breathtaking. The sounds of nature, the fresh air, the birds – we fell in love with the surroundings. We would absolutely love to come back – this place has our hearts 🩶
