Autumn staycation in Pembrokeshire

Spending an autumn staycation in Pembrokeshire is a fantastic idea! Newgale is a picturesque coastal village known for its stunning beach, charming surroundings, and access to various outdoor activities. Here’s a general guide to help you plan your staycation:

Nearby Attractions – Whilst staying in Newgale, you can explore nearby attractions like St. David’s Cathedral, Solva Harbour, and the Pembrokeshire Coastal National Park. These places offer historical sites, charming villages, and beautiful natural landscapes.

Beach Activities – Newgale Beach is the highlight of the area. While the weather might not always be suitable for swimming, you can still enjoy long walks along the sandy shoreline, beachcombing, and even some water sports if the conditions permit.

Wildlife Watching – Autumn is a great time for wildlife watching. Keep an eye out for various bird species, and perhaps even some seals along the coastline.

Coastal Walks – The Pembrokeshire Coast Path runs through Newgale, and we have direct access to it from Rainbolts Farm. It offers stunning views of the coastline and surrounding countryside. Take a leisurely stroll or a more challenging hike along the path to appreciate the autumnal beauty of the area.

Local Cuisine – Sample the local flavours by trying traditional Welsh dishes at local restaurants or cafes. Don’t forget to try some Welsh cakes and Bara Brith, a fruit loaf.

Outdoor Activities – If you’re an adventure enthusiast, consider activities like kayaking, surfing (if you’re experienced), or hiking in the surrounding hills. Just be sure to dress appropriately for the autumn weather.

Cozy Evenings – As the evenings get cooler, enjoy cozy nights indoors. Bring along board games, books, or movies to unwind after a day of exploration.

Autumn in Wales can bring a mix of weather, including rain and wind. Pack layers, waterproof clothing, and sturdy footwear for outdoor activities. Don’t forget your camera to capture the breathtaking landscapes!

Remember that autumn in Newgale offers a unique and serene atmosphere, allowing you to appreciate the beauty of the natural surroundings without the summer crowds.
