Awesome Fishing

The fishing spots around Haverfordwest in Pembrokeshire are genuinely excellent - and if you're the sort who finds peace holding a rod by the water, you'll understand why locals rate this stretch so highly. The rivers and coastal access here offer proper opportunities for both freshwater and sea fishing, depending on the season and what bites you're after. You won't find a visitor centre or formal facilities - this is working fishing territory, not a theme park - but that's rather the appeal. Head down early and you'll have stretches practically to yourself.

This appeals most to anglers with some experience, though beginners keen to learn will find the area welcoming enough. The Pembrokeshire landscape itself is stunning - you're fishing against a backdrop of rolling hills and genuine countryside. Allow a full day if you're serious about it; a few hours if you just fancy trying your luck. Check local weather before you go - Welsh rain is real and proper persistent.

Staying at Point Farm Campsite, just a short drive away, makes a lot of sense for fishing holidays. The proximity to the water means you can be out at first light without hassle. If glamping appeals more, Beachside Glamping Dale is also within spitting distance and puts you in perfect position for coastal fishing days.

Worth doing if fishing matters to you. If you're not an angler, though, there's not much here to occupy an afternoon.
