Tenby is a tidy little town, if you're staying anywhere near there.

Take a boat trip round the islands, Skomer is a good one - plenty of wildlife to keep you amused. There are some nice walks around the coast as well. If that's not your bag then there isn't much else to do.

Weather's probably going to be all wrong at this time of year, however, if you can check out Barafundle Bay which is about 20 mins walk along the cliff tops from the National trust car park at Bosherston it is truly an amazing sight.

Thanks for your replies. Certainly wil check out the lilly ponds and walks and beaches are what we want as we are taking our three dogs with us. Not sure abuot taking the dogs on a boat to Skomer Island though.
Jantje, I lived in North Wales for three years and have realised that they are a mixed bunch. Cant stand the xenophobic nationalists, but a lot of the others are fine. As a young man I found the youg women of Cardiff and Swansea particularly friendly. Went down to Broadhaven for a wedding a few years back and found the locals very freindly.

Got to say we really enjoyed it down there; great beaches and lots of old castles. Place was very dog friendly too. Went to those lilly ponds, but too early in the year for the lillies. Will go again I reckon.
