For those who love their thrills there are plenty of opportunities in our part of the world to get the adrenaline racing and the heart pumping (many of which are suitable for children and not just adults). Actually, there are too many activities to mention them all here!

​

We have not had the opportunity to try out a lot of what is on offer which means we are unable to offer recommendations. Instead, the list below is simply a sample of what is on offer and not an endorsement. We will be happy to add any local companies we’ve missed.

​

A spot of coasteering is on our bucket list of Wales as we’ve always wanted to try it – seeing as it was pioneered in Wales it would be rude not to!

​

Activities to try

​

Coasteering

This involves a mix of rock-hopping, shore-scrambling, swell-riding, cave-exploring and cliff-jumping and is a great way to discover the coast from a different perspective.

​

Kayaking (sea/river)      Surfing 

Paddle boarding             Rock climbing

Abseiling                            Quad biking

White water rafting       Dry-slope skiing

Tobogganing                   Horse riding

Bushcraft                          Archery

 

 

 

Cardigan Bay Active (also known as Adventure Beyond), Scout Hall Boat House, The Strand, Cardigan SA43 1EX Tel: 01239 612133 http://www.cardiganbayactive.co.uk/

Lots of activities on offer. They have a ‘Come & Try Mondays’: 30min taster sessions from £5.

We would advise you to be careful canoeing out of the estuary as the tide is very strong & can make canoeing back pretty difficult!

St Davids Boat trips

​

The islands of Ramsey, Skomer, Grassholm and Skokholm just off St Davids Peninsula are amazing for spotting puffins, seals, dolphins, gannets, porpoises, whales and so much more wildlife. We have details of boat trips in our comprehensive welcome folders found in all of our accommodation. Note that often, different types of wildlife are best spotted during certain months.

​

St Davids is a pretty little town (though it's classed as the UK's smallest city) near the coast an hour's scenic journey from us through the beautiful Pembrokeshire National Park. If you want to make a day of it, explore the amazing St Davids Catherdral and The Bishop's Palace in their lovely grounds, go on a coastal walk, have lunch in town or visit Dr Beynon's Bug Farm. There's also a lovely visitors centre; Oriel Y Parc.
