Fun Places

best place ever for adults and kids and is only 5-minute drive (only open weekends during the winter ☹). Lexi loved it so much she threw up.

Folly Farm is more than a farm. You can see over 750 animals at the zoo, including proper animals such as lions and giraffes. A baby rhino was born late 2025. Plus a water area with penguins and flamingos. Children can get up close to furry and feathery farmyard friends in the barn. 

There are 17 different rides in the vintage fairground plus penny slot machines, and 8 adventure play areas including diggers, several cafes, a big toy and gift shop. Toilets score 8 AW. Incidentally FF is just the place for a wet day. 

The train ride, which is actually pulled by a tractor, leaves on the hour and half past. The walk under the road from the barn takes longer than you’d expect, allow plenty of time. 

One money saving tip (can see Rod has embraced the OAP lifestyle) is buy the £12 wrist band for the funfair. If you intend to pay-as-you-go once on the funfair a tenner easily disappears. If you expect to go 3  more times in a year then buy the Annual Pass. 

Comes a close second according to Logan Waugh. Negligible driving distance at 12 minutes, and reasonable entry - £15 for adults. 

The drive-on cars, paddle boats and other activities are what keeps 3 to 8 year olds amused all day. 

News for 2025. Lexi can do flips on the trampoline, and Arlo being a dinosaur expert is now a safari guide.

Tenby.  We intended to catch the Caldey Ferry but it wasn’t running the day we chose. Instead, we took an island tour and looked at the seals and cormorants. We saw a single lone tern also. This is an unusual sight because one good tern …  

Alli caught 3 mackerels and was told this is high number.  (she normally frightens them away). 

Saundersfoot Look out for the kiosk on the sea front. If you find out more please let us know.   

Sea trips Skomer by boat are from just outside Marloes.

Brand new playground for kids. Slides, swings, zip wire. Includes some picnic benches too. 

How to get there. Located at the bottom of the road after  the Coop.    Parking just up the road in the Community Centre. Entrance is through the Community Garden, which in itself is quite nice.
