Llanteg Park

You'll find Llanteg Park a few miles south of Narberth, tucked into the Carmarthenshire countryside where the landscape turns properly wild. It's a nature reserve that rewards a proper walk rather than a quick stop - the kind of place where you actually notice things if you slow down. Woodland paths wind through native trees, and there are open meadows where you might spot birds you don't see in managed gardens. The reserve is free to access, which makes it worth a detour on a park holiday in the area.

Walkers will get the most from it, especially anyone with field guides or binoculars. Kids can run about without too much worry, though there's nothing like a visitor centre or playground to keep them entertained if they're the fidgety type - this is proper countryside, not a theme park. Allow a couple of hours to do it justice rather than a quick stroll.

If you're based at one of the caravan parks nearby - Little Kings Park or Woodland Vale are closest - this makes a decent morning or afternoon outing. The trails aren't demanding, so it suits most fitness levels. Spring and early summer are prime time for spotting wildlife and wildflowers. It's the sort of place that rewards a repeat visit too, as what you see changes with the seasons. Not Instagram-famous or particularly dramatic, but honest woodland and meadow habitat. Worth the drive from Narberth town itself.
