What to do and see in Pembroke, Wales: The Best Free Things to do
Situated near the south-west coast of Wales, the town of Pembroke is an excellent center for a holiday. A large part of the ancient town wall still exists in Pembroke, and when you walk down the main street you will see many Georgian and Tudor houses. There is a good choice of restaurants, cafes and pubs among the local shops. If Pembroke Castle inspires you, Manorbier and Carew Castles are also within easy reach. When you have had enough of history, you can relax on the superb South Pembrokeshire beaches or take a trip along the Pembrokeshire Coast Path. Wildlife lovers will not want to miss the picturesque Haven Waterway on the edge of Pembrokeshire National Park.

We visited here on our little staycation recently and we really enjoyed. It is an artillery range so check the website before visiting as its closed when active for obvious reasons. Free carpark with a small icecream van but no toilet facilities. Not far at all from carpark to the steep steps down to the Chapel. So worth the climb down. It may be difficult for people with walking difficulties. Wear sturdy shoes too. On a wet day I'd imagine the steps could get slippy. We were lucky that day. Once your through the little chapel you can walk about a bit ,climb on the rocks, take some amazing pictures etc. We then climbed back up and had a lovely walk along the cliffs. There was someone actually climbing that day. Amazing! Well worth a visit.
3. Lamphey Bishop's Palace
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 171 reviews
Life couldn’t have been that hard for the medieval bishops of St Davids. These worldly, wealthy, influential men enjoyed their home comforts – as you’ll see when you wander around Lamphey’s palatial grounds, mainly the work of the dynamic Henry de Gower, bishop of St Davids from 1328 to 1347. The bishops used Lamphey as a country retreat, an escape from the burdens of Church and State. The displayed opening times are our general pattern. Please check the Cadw website for specific times and days, including closures.

Such a hidden gem and a must to visit. So much to be learnt & so interesting to read up on how the land was kept & worked many many years ago.
