North-ish, but nearby
Cresswell Quay
Cresswell Quay is 13 miles from the lodge via Carew but there is a slightly shorter direct route. It is the location of the 2016 film Their Finest starring among others Bill Nighy set in the 1940’s about the Blitz and Dunkirk.
A jigsaw village at the top end of tidal river Cresswell with beautiful and peaceful (in March at least) views of the river from the benches on the quay outside the pub. This is where 700 years ago they would load coal onto flat bottom barges. The pub, Cresselly Arms, is very oldie-worldie with friendly locals and cheap beer.
Lawrenny Quay
a few miles further on from Creswell and Carew and 18 miles from the lodge. You can walk past to the end merging of the Cresswell and Cleddau Ddu rivers, both are tidal, wander round the boat yard or visit the Quayside café. It was closed when we visited, Monday with a stunning and peaceful location. Lawrenny Village, 1 mile inland, is another jigsaw material.
