Martin's Haven — the Deer Park

Just 10 minutes' walk from the campsite, the Deer Park was originally part of the Kensington estate of St Brides but has never actually contained any deer. Instead: seals (pups in autumn), heather, wildflowers, spectacular rocks, sea views, and sightings of most of Pembrokeshire's islands.


Birdwatching at Marloes Mere

Marloes Mere is a great place for birdwatching, especially for waterfowl and birds of prey in winter. Walk down the lane from the Marloes Sands car park and stop often to look across the wetland. Two hides overlook the mere where you can sit quietly and wait for things to happen.
