Porthgain Fishing Village, a 15 minutes path walk away

• Porthgain is a small picturesque harbour with the Shed bistro/bar (Welsh Fish Restaurant of the Year 2006 - booking advisable) the Sloop Inn, a character pub serving excellent bar food and 2 art galleries showing the work of local artists and crafts.
  

The Pembrokeshire Coast Path

• The Pembrokeshire Coast Path runs both east and west from Porthgain. The dramatic coastal scenery, flower and wildlife are what make Pembrokeshire one of the world's best holiday destinations (National Geographic voted Pembrokeshire the 2nd best coastal destination in the world) splendid at all times of the year, but the explosion of colour with the spring flowers is something to behold!
  

Traeth Llyfyn Beach nearby

• The Pembrokeshire Coast Path to the west brings you to Traeth Llyfyn beach - a wide expanse of sand great for family beach days, picnics and games of rounders (with a long staircase down to the sand).

Abereiddi and the Blue Lagoon

• Neighbouring Abereiddi, has pretty colour-washed former miners cottages, black sandy beach and the remarkable Blue Lagoon. Popular with families, the sand which is visible at low tide, also contains a high concentration of fossils and is a draw for fossil hunters.
  

St Davids City and St Davids Peninsula Pembrokeshire

• St Davids is Britain's smallest city. It's lovely medieval cathedral and ancient Bishops' Palace form the historic centre but it also boasts a number of modern amenities - bank, post office, supermarket, filling station, chemist, doctor and vet - as well as a good range of interesting shops and restaurants. The Farmer's Market is well a visit.
  

Boat Trips to Ramsey Island

• Book a boat trip to Ramsey Island and experience the thrill of a jet boat trip across Ramsey Sound, through the infamous Bitches, and then the contrast of moving in close to the cliffs to see the wildlife at close range. For the less adventurous there are conventional boats which both circuit and land on the island.
  

Whitesands Beach

• Whitesands Beach, just six miles from TyCoch, is one of the most stunning locations on the Pembrokeshire coast. The wide sandy beach has a Blue Flag award and lifeguard cover in the summer make it popular for swimming, surfing and watersports of all sorts with surf hire and surfing lessons available at the beach. The Whitesands Cafe serves tasty snacks and refreshments.
  

Trefin, The Mill Cafe and Aberfelin

• Do visit the small village of Trefin - a sleepy backwater. Call at the pub, the Ship Inn, which welcomes families and serves meals of freshly caught and locally sourced produce. A little further down the main street is the popular Mill Cafe, great for breakfasts, lunch and tea - and with a display of local art and crafts.
  

Fishguard Town and Pretty Lower Fishguard Harbour

• Just six miles north you can wander among the boats or walk out along the quayside to the sailing club and (low tide) beach beyond of this pretty, unspoiled coastal harbour. Buy fantastic local produce from the weekly farmers market and investigate the individual shops, restaurants and pubs in this 'up and coming' little town. (The Lonely Planet Guide).
  

Scolton Manor and County Museum

• Just a little further afield, enjoy a trip back to Victorian times at the Scolton Manor and Country Museum. The house has been sympathetically restored to give a taste of Victorian society and style and together with 60 acres of parkland and a cafe providing delicious homemade cakes, this is a great family day out.

Priskilly Forest Golf Club

• This family-owned 9-hole course is a gem, nestling amongst mature oaks, sycamores and rhododendrons and with panoramic views of the coast and country from Strumble Head to the Preseli Mountains.
• The course is open all year to visitors of all abilities and tuition is available - so why not learn to play? All your golfing requirements - for purchase or hire - are available at the golf shop. While you play, your family can enjoy the woodland walk and try the delicious food in ' Y Cabin' Bar/Bistro.

• If you are looking for activity - for children or adults - centres which will guide you through a new sport can be found in TYF Adventures, Preseli Venture or Sealyham Activity Centre. Hire a bike or a kayak or try out coasteering - there is scope for all sorts of thrilling water and land based sports.
• At the Creative Cafe in Haverfordwest or Narberth you can paint your own pottery - or make mosaics with Maddy Jane at Treffynnon ([email protected]) - just let your imagination take over!
• Well worth a visit is the Secret Owl Garden which has recently relocated to Narberth.
  
• If you take a trip to the south of the county you can visit the beautiful beaches of Tenby & Saundersfoot, Oakwood Theme Park, Heatherton, Folly Farm Zoo, Manor Wildlife Park and the Blue Lagoon Water Park.
