First Day in Pembrokeshire

Yesterday we travelled from Southampton to South Wales arriving just after dusk at our campsite. Most of the major campsites are closed this time of year, but there are a few private sites that do remain open. We are situated just north of Haverfordwest which is roughly central to the Pembrokeshire area we want to cover.

Thursday 21st November: Today the weather was overcast so we headed off to Tenby to start the day.

We only had a few hours here which included a coffee in a nice dog friendly café. We then headed off to another location nearby for a spot of lunch, but unfortunately the café was closed. We headed over the cliffs and down to the beach via many steps – we just weren’t looking forwards to the return trip.

The beach was covered in boulders with a wonderful arch to focus our attention.

Fortunately the sun appeared from behind the clouds at the right time to bath the arch in sunlight for the next hour. Later we headed back up those many steps to the car. I started to carry our 13 year old dog, but when I put her down for a rest, she charged up the remaining steps – so she can walk the rest of the holiday!

We stopped off at a few castles on our return journey, but they were closed, so returned to the campsite for an early dinner (as we missed out on lunch).
