Roch Castle - Activities

Roch Castle is close to St Davids, the UK's smallest city, and the beautiful Pembrokeshire coast. Trek the coast path, walk barefoot on the beach, absorb the heritage sites, galleries and gardens; sample the food, drink and culture; forage and discover. If you’re brave enough, jump into the sea!

Outdoor Adventure

Satisfy your inner thrill seeker with an adventure experience on the spectacular St Davids Peninsula. Perfect for couples or friends in need of some excitement, let the sea air, crashing waves and spectacular views energise your body and clear your mind. Activities available locally include kayaking, surfing and climbing.

Beaches

The Pembrokeshire coast is one of the most beautiful in the British Isles, laying claim to more Blue Flag and Seaside Award beaches than any other county. Whitesands, on the tip of the St David's peninsula, and the two-mile stretch at Newgale are two of Wales’s premier surfing and kite-surfing spots, whilst Caerfai is a beautiful and protected sandy bay, ideal for swimming.

Boat Trips

Whether you want sensitive wildlife observation, thrilling expeditions and adventures, or something a little different, a boat trip around the peninsula and islands is an incredible way to explore Pembrokeshire’s natural beauty.

Dr Beynon’s Bug Farm

The Bug Farm is a research and visitor centre like no other. With a Tropical Bug Zoo, Bug Museum, British Bug House, Insect Farming Exhibition, Farm Trails and a Walled Garden, there is something for everyone, whatever your age or interest. The on-site café, Grub Kitchen, is the UK’s first full-time edible insect restaurant, with plenty of non-insect dishes available too.

Oriel y Parc Gallery & Visitor Centre

Oriel y Parc Gallery and Visitor Centre features a Class A Gallery with works and collections exhibited by local artists, inspired by the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park.

Horseback Riding

Horseback Riding is available across the fields to the beautiful beach of Druidstone Haven, which is the main location for Beach Riding. When the tide is in, there are plenty of countryside tracks and paths to explore.

Golf

There are 18-hole links golf courses with stunning views at Tenby and Newport; the course at Tenby is the oldest affiliated club in Wales. St David's has a 9-hole links course on the headland overlooking Whitesands Bay, whilst inland near Letterston, a picturesque 9-hole parkland course is available at Priskilly Forest, which also has a beautiful woodland walk.

St Davids Escape Room

Choose between indoor or outdoor. The indoor experience is currently themed around the St Davids area, so prepare to be met by fishing lines, cuttlefish and plenty more coastal-related puzzles! Prefer the outdoors? Instead of escaping a room, you’ve got to navigate a simple low ropes course, unlocking planks, tyres and drawbridges to let you onto new bits of the course.

The Coastal Way

Launched by Visit Wales in late 2017, The Wales Way includes three unique routes (The Coastal Way, The Cambrian Way and The North Wales Way), which have been designed to inspire visitors to travel and explore Wales.

The Coastal Way begins, or ends, in St Davids and passes through many of Wales’s notable attractions, from Aberteifi’s historical castle landmarks to Aberystwth’s Devil’s Bridge Railway Station and waterfalls to Barmouth’s white sandy beaches.

The Coastal Way takes winding roads through idyllic towns and villages, past soaring coastal landscapes and untouched beaches, offering an unforgettable experience.
