Down a narrow lane crowded by cow parsley, Preseli Glamping is found – a gently sloping camping meadow that rolls down to a stretch of wild woodland set just back from the Pembrokeshire coast. Amongst wildflowers and sapling trees, just 14 spacious camping pitches fringe the Preseli Glamping meadow, each with a picnic table and firepit, plus access to the all-new eco shower block. There's oodles of space for lying around in the sun or stretching out in extended child's pose and tucked away, enclosed in a little glade, there's also a show-stopping geodesic dome. Kitted out with a double bed, two futons and a toasty log-burning stove, the dome, almost encircled by the trees, provides a wonderful feeling of solitude – something only accentuated at night, when the campfire’s going and the stars are out in full force.
When you fancy being sociable, the Preseli Venture eco lodge is just a few minutes' walk away – where you can book in for home-cooked meals or simply enjoy an evening beer in the lodge’s outdoor courtyard area, with views down to the sea. In fact, Abermawr Beach is a mere one mile away (and eminently walkable), while popular beaches like Abereiddy are less than 15 minutes by car. St Davids, the tiny cathedral city that sticks out on the map, is also within easy reach, as are Solva, Newgale and Whitesands Bay.
From the adventure centre next door, meanwhile, sea kayaking trips can be arranged (for all levels) and the Preseli Venture team are the most experienced people to take you surfing and coasteering at different locations in the area. All trips are led with the same zeal and enthusiasm that owner Sophie had when she first started the business back in the ‘80s. And, while in those days, swimming into sea caves, paddling through gullies and jumping off cliffs was something reserved for adrenaline junkies and eccentrics, today it’s become one of the most popular seaside activities in Wales. It would almost be rude not to don a lifejacket and try it out.

Excellent campsite, the way the tent sites are organised with no mow zones is brilliant. Very clean toilets, excellent walking.

What a gorgeous campsite! Generous flat pitches, so much space in between, tall grasses with paths mown in between areas. The site is beautiful and beautifully looked after. There is loads of useful local information and no officious laminated signs. The dome was perfection - comfy beds, tons of space, cozy woodstove and plenty of outside space for fires and cooking, etc. Really thoughtful to have picnic tables and benches on each pitch and a supply of firewood. It was just dreamy, all of it.

Preseli Glamping is right at the heart of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, only a ten minute walk to Abermawr and Aberbach, both beautiful, remote beaches, safe for family swimming, with pebbles and, as the tide drops, expanses of sand revealed.
A plethora of circular walks starting and finishing at the campsite as well as longer walks which link up with the coastal shuttle buses will immerse you in the historical heritage of the landscape from craggy cliffs and undulating sandstone coves to volcanic headlands and glacial valleys; ancient drowned forests to Neolithic burial chambers; from the oldest working woollen mill in Wales, Tregwynt woolen mill, magnificent 12th-century cathedral in St David's. From these well-traversed trails, swathed in sea campion, yellow gorse and pink thrift flowers, you can spot inquisitive grey seals lazing on the rocky shoreline, pods of harbour porpoise and Atlantic sea birds fishing, peregrines diving and kittiwakes nesting. Mull over mesmerising rock pools where ruby-red beadlet anemones sway, blennies dart between pebbles and winkle shells shimmer in the sun… Comb the tideline for a mermaid’s purse or sea-smoothed pottery amongst the driftwood.
Neighbouring 5-star sustainable outdoor activity provider, Preseli Venture, is the place to meet your adventurous edge. Sea kayaking trips will take you paddling amongst towering stack rocks and natural archways, booming sea caves and swell-swilling rock gardens. Take an invigorating plunge on a coasteering adventure, traversing the natural playground where the land meets the sea with the encouraging guidance of passionate and knowledgeable local guides. Suit up, boot up and pop up on clean, green, peeling waves with the help of expert surf instructors who’ll take you to the best blue-flag beach breaks. Excellent quality specialist kit and minibus transport is provided from the adventure centre, next to the campsite.
Further afield, it's a 15-minute drive to Abereiddy, a beautiful beach with exraordinary black sand, a row of ruined mining cottages and the Blue Lagoon, a breached quarry with bright blue waters perfect for diving and swimming! It's a touch over 15 minutes to diminutive St Davids city and its stunning medeival cathedral where you can also take a boat trip around RSPB Ramsey Island to see a myriad of wildlife.
