It’s no secret that we love outdoor adventures and glamping, being at one with nature and leaving the stresses of day to day life behind. Pembrokeshire has been on our UK staycation bucket list for a while after seeing so many beautiful places to visit and outdoor activities to do on Instagram. Earlier this month we were given the opportunity to stay with Wigwam Holidays for a UK glamping holiday review, there are so many fantastic sites on offer across the UK, but we opted for Shellstone glamping in Pembrokeshire.
SHELLSTONE GLAMPING SITE
Wigwam Holidays Shellstone showcases the wild, captivating beauty of Pembrokeshire, with it’s back to nature setting and spectacular coastline to explore, it’s perfect for outdoor adventurers, walkers, climbers, and for family nature breaks.
The Shellstone site is beautifully set in a woodland area, within walking distance to 3 stunning beaches and Pembrokeshire’s coastal paths, there is plenty to fall in love with on a glamping holiday here. The site offers everything you need to switch off, unwind and enjoy a relaxed break in the great outdoors.
EXPLORING THE NEARBY COAST LINE…
Pembrokeshire has one of the most beautiful coastlines in the UK, stretching over an impressive 186 miles. We’ve stayed in a few stunning coastal places before, but this has to be my favourite by far; it’s less busy than most and has lots of accessible beaches and walks. We researched the Pembrokeshire Coast Path National Trail as an option for exploring, but decided to drive to the hotspots on our itinerary as we only had one and a half days in the area.
MANORBIER BEACH
As we arrived late in the day on a Friday, we decided to hit the closest beach for sunset, this was called Manorbier beach and it took us just 20 minutes to walk from the Shellstone site to the steps to the beach.
It was really easy to follow, however there is limited phone signal in the area so we did have to start the route to the beach whilst we were connected to the WIFI in the cabin. We arrived just in time to watch the sun go down and see the sky turn orange and pink. We then headed back to the cabin to make dinner and toast some marshmallows on the camp fire.
ELEGUG STACKS
First on the list for our full day exploring Pembrokeshire was Elegug Stacks, which is a coastal walk with two limestone cliffs in the water, a photographers dream.
CAMPFIRE UNDER THE STARS
After a full day of exploring and walking along the coastline, we headed to a local pub for Dinner and drinks, we found the Wigwam app super helpful when deciding on places to go and things to do; it has everything you need whilst in the area. Using the app’s map feature, we found a pub close to the cabin so we could walk there and get food.
After that we got a bottle of red wine, started up the camp fire and got out our camping chairs for an evening under the stars, which are absolutely unreal due to no light pollution in the area.
