Pembrokeshire Llama Sanctuary

You'll find yourself face to face with a field full of alpacas and llamas near Clynderwen - yes, llamas. The Pembrokeshire Llama Sanctuary is exactly what it sounds like: a working sanctuary where these creatures are the main attraction. You walk around their paddocks, feed them if allowed, and genuinely interact with animals that are far more engaging than you'd expect. They're curious, occasionally spitting (though rarely), and oddly therapeutic to be around.

It's brilliant for families with young kids who'll be captivated for a solid hour or two. Parents will appreciate the novelty too - it's different from the usual Pembrokeshire beach days. Older children might find it a bit thin on the ground unless they're genuinely keen on animals, but llama trekking experiences are sometimes available if you book ahead.

Walkers don't need to bother specifically coming here, though if you're staying at one of the nearby holiday parks - Llandissilio is closest at 1.4 miles, or Frowen Fields at 5 miles if you fancy glamping - it makes a decent rainy-day activity. The sanctuary sits between Clynderwen and the wider Pembrokeshire attractions, so it's handy for breaking up a longer trip.

Bring cash. Allow 90 minutes minimum. Opening hours and admission fees aren't confirmed online, so ringing ahead is wise. It's not essential Pembrokeshire, but it's the kind of oddball local thing that makes a holiday memorable.
