Pembrey Country Park Adventures

Pembrey Country Park is a 500-hectare (approximately 1,236 acres) recreational space located along the Carmarthenshire coast in South Wales. The park highlights a unique blend of natural habitats including woodlands, dunes, wetlands, and sandy beaches fronting on the Loughor Estuary and the Bristol Channel. This varied geography supports abundant wildlife and diverse plant species, making it an attractive destination for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. Historically, the site transitioned from its industrial past to become a popular area for leisure with regeneration efforts focusing on preserving natural environments alongside modern amenities. Visitors can enjoy extensive trails suitable for hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding, with scenic routes through pine forests and open grasslands. Pembrey Beach is a prime spot for seaside activities including swimming and fishing. Key landmarks include a vintage railway line running through the park, an activity centre offering adventure sports, a children's play area, and a historical aviation museum nearby. The park appeals to families, outdoor sports participants, and bird watchers, providing a mix of active pursuits and peaceful nature experiences. Its combination of coastal frontage and inland green space makes it a versatile destination year-round, supported by on-site facilities such as cafes and picnic areas.
