• The garden has been developed over centuries and it is a real pleasure to visit. When you have spent time exploring, drop into the café in the courtyard. With seating both inside and out, Maria’s provides excellent lunches and teatime fare as well as a range of interesting (often Spanish) Deli food.

• Within walking distance is Maria’s tapas bar and restaurant at Picton Castle (mentioned above). The Slebech Hotel & Restaurant is a 5 minute drive and offers a menu of local produce, relaxed dining and unrivalled views over the Cleddau River.  
• Just outside Narberth try The Grove – a three AA Rosette restaurant open daily for lunch and dinner, perfect for that special holiday meal.
• For great food and a breathtaking view, the dining room at the Druidstone Hotel in St Brides Bay is hard to beat - or you could just drop in for a bar snack and sit outside on the terrace and make the best of the view from there.
• The newly refurbished Twr y Felin Hotel’s Blas Restaurant in St Davids has two AA Rosettes and offers food which reflects Wales and the seasons. 

• Central to the county, the Old Coach House is perfectly placed for visitors wanting to explore Pembrokeshire’s countryside. The Pembrokeshire Coastal Path (now part of the All Wales Coastal Path) runs for 168 miles from St Dogmaels in the north to Amroth in the south offering spectacular and breath taking views of flowers and wildlife, cliffs and sea. 
• Keen walkers will also find walking country both in the centre of the county – investigate the Preseli Hills or Llys y Fran Country Park – and along the banks of the Cleddau River which stretches both east and west from The Rhos where the Old Coach House is situated. 

• From the Old Coach House’s central position it is easy to explore the county in any direction. Tenby in the south, is a lovely walled town crossed by small streets with the harbour as its focal point. A day out there will offer something for everyone - shopping or fishing, boat trips or beaches - or investigate the local culture and history. A visit to Caldey Island is always very special.
• Go west to Manorbier - a pretty village with a lovely castle which dominates the cliffs looking over the sandy beach.  A great day out for a bit of history round the castle followed by rock pooling and beach games!
• Nearby at Stackpole try the Stackpole Inn - great for lunch or supper. Explore the Stackpole estate, now owned by the National Trust, and offering walks around some of the most dramatic coastline and lovely beaches in Britain.  

• No visit to Pembrokeshire is complete without visiting St Davids, the smallest city in Britain. At the centre of the Peninsula it is well supplied with practical shops, gift and clothes shops, galleries, cafes, restaurants and pubs as well as activity booking offices.
• At the heart of the ‘city’ is the lovely 12th century Cathedral. Be sure to visit – in such a small remote town, it is a wonder to behold!

• Experience the coast from the sea – the marine bird and wildlife and the amazing and dramatic cliffs and waves. This is an experience quite outside the normal run of everyday life. 
• Trips to Ramsey Island and out to Grassholm and the offshore islands can be booked in one of the booking offices in St Davids. To go to Skomer you must join the queue to catch the boat from the little bay at Martin’s Haven. Tickets are not bookable.

• If you are looking for a day out for the family there is plenty to choose from - Oakwood Leisure Park, Heatherton Sports, Manor Wildlife Park and Folly Farm Zoo are all within an easy drive.
