Mount Sion Cover

The woodland trails around Mount Sion Cover offer proper breathing space if you're camping near Pembroke and need to stretch your legs without heading too far. It's a genuine forest walk rather than a manicured park trail - the kind of place where you'll actually see what West Wales woodland looks like rather than a visitor attraction dressed up as one.

The cover itself sits on elevated ground, which means the views across Pembrokeshire open up nicely once you've done the climb. The paths wind through mixed woodland, plenty of mature trees, and enough undergrowth to feel like you've properly left the caravan parks behind. Most people can knock out a decent walk here in 90 minutes to two hours depending on how much wandering you do.

This works best for families who've got walkers old enough to manage uneven ground without complaining, or anyone who just wants a straightforward woodland ramble. The forest isn't dramatic or particularly famous, which means it stays quiet. You won't find facilities or signposting to match the bigger country estates, but that's rather the point.

It's free to access and works brilliantly as a mid-week escape if you're based at King's Mill Camping or Parke Farm just down the road. Combine it with a walk into Pembroke town itself and you've got a proper morning sorted. Winter's actually quite nice for it - less muddy than you'd expect, and the bare trees let you see further through the wood.
