Saundersfoot Dog Park

Your dog's been cooped up in the caravan for too long, and Saundersfoot Dog Park is exactly what you both need. It's a proper off-lead space where your pooch can actually run without you sweating about keeping them on a tight rein the whole time. The park sits just outside Kilgetty in Pembrokeshire, making it handy whether you're staying at The Buttles Caravan Park round the corner or any of the half-dozen holiday spots within a mile or so.

What you get is straightforward - a dedicated field where dogs can gallop about, chase tennis balls, and do what dogs do best. It's not fancy or complicated, which is rather the point. Families with energetic breeds will find it invaluable, and it's the sort of spot where your kids can let loose too without you worrying about road traffic or other complications. Walkers stopping over for a night or two often pop in because it takes the edge off a long car journey.

Timing-wise, early morning or late afternoon tends to be quieter, so if you want a more peaceful session that's when to go. The whole visit might take thirty minutes to an hour depending on how knackered your dog gets. Since it's free (as far as we can tell) and requires minimal planning, it slots brilliantly into any Pembrokeshire park holiday. You're close enough to the caravan sites that you can dash back if someone needs the loo, but far enough away that the barking won't wind up your neighbours.
