Press Paws with a Dog Friendly Holiday in Pembrokeshire
Let your pooch feel the sand under their toes and the sea breeze in their fur
Once your pooch has had a taste of Pembrokeshire life, they won’t want to go home. And honestly, why would they? With unlimited roaming space, landscapes of all terrains and a county full of welcoming eateries and attractions, there’s plenty to explore during a dog friendly holiday in Pembrokeshire.
The obvious first choice for adventure is the coastline. Walker’s dogs will delight at the neverending ups and downs of the coastal path - even if their human pets require a pit stop to catch their breaths (and perhaps a sugar hit?). Experienced hiking dogs however will wish to continue charging on around the corner, as will you once you’ve recovered. The views from the Coast Path are truly unbeatable with panoramas for miles on clear days. Do be mindful that some stretches of the Coast Path are farmland so politely keep your friend on a lead when passing through.
With a magnificent coastline comes outstanding beaches - too many to list here. Does your pup love to frolic in white sands and dig holes in search of treasure? Or do they prefer to chase the water and leap over waves? Beaches like Broadhaven South and Freshwater West are great fun for all the family with good swell and soft sands backed by grassy dunes, it’s a doggie’s dream.
Most of Pembrokeshire’s best beaches are dog friendly all year round so you needn’t worry about going out of your way to find one or leaving someone home to babysit the canine whilst the rest of the family enjoy a beach day.
If you and your dog prefer life away from the water or simply fancy a change of scenery, venture inland for a nirvana of rolling Welsh hillsides and fascinating woodlands. Explore Ty Canol Nature Reserve in North Pembrokeshire and stumble across the neolithic burial chamber at Pentre Ifan, or trek to the top of Treffgarne rocks for a high viewpoint across most of Pembrokeshire.
Wales is known for being a welcoming and friendly country and here in Pembrokeshire, we make sure that same welcome is extended to our fine four-legged friends. Many of the cafes, pubs and you on your days out. You can take your pup to explore The Bug Farm, Carew Castle and The Welsh Wildlife Centre, plus the team at Heatherton are always happy to see a friendly doggo walk through the gates.
You’ll be pleased to know that our service buses and coastal shuttle services are dog friendly too, making it easier for you to be a little more eco-friendly on your travels and make friends with other touring dogs. And we don’t stop there, many of our boat tours welcome your happy hounds aboard their sea vessels so swap the car window for an open-topped boat, and see their wide grins as they feel the fresh breeze whip through their fur.
