Oriel Fach

Small but perfectly formed, this little gallery near Haverfordwest punches well above its weight. The name translates to 'Little Gallery' in Welsh, which undersells what you'll find inside - rotating exhibitions of contemporary Welsh art that often showcase emerging local talent alongside established names. Free admission makes it an easy stop, though you'll want to check if it's actually open before making a special journey as hours can be sporadic.

Art lovers will find plenty to appreciate, particularly those interested in Welsh contemporary work. The space itself is intimate rather than grand - think converted cottage rather than cathedral-sized halls - which creates a proper connection with the pieces on display. Families might struggle to keep younger children engaged for more than twenty minutes, but teenagers with an artistic bent often surprise themselves by lingering longer than expected.

Location-wise, it slots nicely into a Pembrokeshire holiday based around the coast. If you're staying at Newgale Coast Holiday Park or any of the other sites near Newgale, it's worth combining with a trip into Haverfordwest for supplies. The gallery works best as part of a rainy day plan rather than the main event - half an hour well spent before heading back to the beaches and coastal paths that make this corner of Pembrokeshire so special.
