Insider Tips for Exploring Off-the-Beaten-Path Adventures

Discovering Pembrokeshire’s hidden gems requires a little planning and some insider knowledge. Here are some practical tips to help you make the most of your adventure:

Parking and Access Information

Parking Locations: Many hidden spots have limited parking. Use designated parking areas nearby, such as the National Trust car parks for Colby Woodland Garden or coastal spots near Pentre Ifan.

Permits: Some attractions may require permits or entrance fees, so check in advance and plan accordingly.

Walking Trails: Be prepared for walking; many hidden gems are accessible only by footpaths or scenic trails. Wear comfortable footwear and bring a map or GPS.

Respect Nature and Local Communities

Leave No Trace: Follow the “leave no trace” principles by taking all your rubbish with you and minimising your environmental impact.

Wildlife: Keep a respectful distance from wildlife and avoid disturbing their natural habitats.

Local Etiquette: Be considerate of local communities by respecting private property and noise levels.

Combine Visits for a Day Trip Itinerary

Day Trips: Maximise your adventure by planning day trips that include multiple hidden gems. For example, visit Colby Woodland Garden in the morning and Pentre Ifan in the afternoon, followed by a sunset at St. Govan’s Chapel.
