The county of Pembrokeshire lies in the south-west of Wales, with Pembroke at its centre. The region is bursting with idyllic nature, medieval castles and white beaches. To the west of the small town is the Milford Haven estuary, a branch of which runs along the outskirts of Pembroke. The north is characterised by the River Daugleddau, which is surrounded by the picturesque Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. The latter also stretches along the wide coastline to the south of the town.
Camping in Pembroke in South Wales is ideal for nature lovers and those seeking peace and quiet, as most of the facilities in the area are located in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. This covers almost the entire coastline of Pembrokeshire and the Daugleddau region. Here you can unwind in the unspoilt countryside. Walkers will particularly enjoy the "Pembrokeshire Coast Path", which mainly runs along the seafront.
In addition to the inviting beaches, couples in particular appreciate the secluded and romantic bays. Culture vultures are attracted by the numerous sights. Pembroke itself boasts a local history museum, for example, and nearby towns such as Milford Haven invite you to take a trip. Many holidaymakers find the historic castles and ruins particularly fascinating.
There are several ferry connections to Great Britain, but for campers from Germany, the one near Calais in France is particularly recommended due to the short sea route and the quickest arrival time. The best route for travellers from northern Germany is via Denmark, Belgium and France, for example from Hamburg to Pembroke, which is around 1,300 km. Holidaymakers should first take the A1 towards Bremen and then the A67 via Eindhoven. From Antwerp in Belgium, they choose the European route E17, which is replaced by the A40 and in France by the A16. The A16 takes you directly to the city of Calais, from where you can take the ferry to Great Britain near Folkestone. Finally, they reach the M4 motorway via London, which takes them to just before Pembrokeshire. Travellers from the south of Germany reach Calais via northern France. From Munich, for example, it is around 1,500 kilometres to Pembroke. On this route, campers take the A8 motorway via Stuttgart, then the A4 and from Reims the A26 to Calais. On both routes, this harbour town is a great place to stop before the ferry crossing.
From the campsites in Pembroke, there are great excursions to the harbour town of Tenby or the striking Carew Castle.
In around 15 km, visitors to Pembroke can be in the charming town of Tenby, which appeals to active holidaymakers with two golf courses, among other things. Various water sports such as fishing, motor boating, canoeing and jet skiing are also exciting.
Those interested in culture and art will first of all be impressed by the impressive view of the steep cliffs and the sandy beach at the Museum & Art Gallery. Then the information about the exciting past of piracy is received with amazement. The building also contains two galleries, each with a special and a permanent exhibition, which provide visitors with inspiring impressions.
Carew Castle is a good 7 kilometres from Pembroke. It is located in the south of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park in the Daugleddau region. The high walls of the castle ruins are still filled with living history. From this area, guests get an exclusive view of a large pond, where the 19th century tidal mill Tidal Mill stands worth seeing.
Much of Pembrokeshire borders the coast, making the county rich in fish specialities. Seafood such as oysters and delicious caviar are also served. The cheese in Wales is particularly famous. Amongst others, the semi-soft Caerphilly, the cheddar cheese Tintern with chives and the creamy-soft Black Bomber tempt with their excellence. A typical dish is Cawl - a Welsh stew, the preparation of which varies depending on the season and region. Inland, for example, it is served with lamb or mutton and on the coast with seafood. Another classic delicacy is Glamorgan sausage. This vegetarian sausage consists of Caerphilly cheese, leek and mustard and is coated in breadcrumbs.
Holidaymakers can expect a moderate climate when camping in Pembroke. July and August are the warmest months with temperatures of up to 20 degrees Celsius. Hikers and cyclists in particular enjoy these pleasant temperatures. Those interested in culture also appreciate these balmy days in the holiday oasis. The coldest period is from December to February, when an average of 5 degrees Celsius is recorded. These mild winters make Pembroke attractive for campers all year round, but travellers should bear in mind that the period from October to March is classed as particularly windy. November is also the wettest month of the year. April, on the other hand, is the driest.
