If you’ve been dreaming about owning your own holiday home on the Pembrokeshire coast, choosing the right location is just as important as choosing the right caravan. At Matthew Baker Caravans, we have three fantastic locations across Pembrokeshire to choose from: Newgale, Newport and Dinas Cross. Each park offers something slightly different, whether your perfect escape involves days beside the beach, exploring a bustling coastal town or relaxing somewhere peaceful with beautiful countryside and coastal views.
So, which Matthew Baker Caravan Park is right for you?
Newgale: For Beach Lovers and Coastal Adventures
If being close to the sea is at the very top of your holiday home wish list, Newgale Holiday Park is difficult to beat. The park sits alongside spectacular Newgale Beach, one of Pembrokeshire’s best-known stretches of coastline. With around two miles of golden sand, Newgale provides plenty of space for long walks, family beach days and simply enjoying life beside the sea. It’s also particularly popular for surfing and other watersports.
For anyone searching for static caravans for sale in Newgale, Pembrokeshire, the location is a huge part of the attraction. Rather than having to travel a long distance whenever you fancy spending time beside the coast, you’ll have one of Pembrokeshire’s most impressive beaches practically on your doorstep.
The Pembrokeshire Coast Path and Days out in Solva and St Davids
Newgale is also an excellent choice for walkers. The Pembrokeshire Coast Path passes through the area, opening up opportunities to explore some of West Wales’ spectacular coastal scenery whenever you visit your caravan. One particularly enjoyable direction to explore is towards Solva, with the route taking you along the coastline towards the picturesque harbour village.
Owning a holiday caravan in Newgale also puts you in a fantastic position for exploring the western side of Pembrokeshire. The beautiful harbour village of Solva is nearby, offering cafés, pubs, shops, harbour views and more fantastic coastal scenery. Continue further along the coast and you’ll reach St Davids, Britain’s smallest city. Here you can explore St Davids Cathedral, browse independent shops and cafés or head towards the coast for boat trips and wildlife adventures. Newgale therefore offers a great balance. You can enjoy relaxed days on the beach without travelling far from your caravan, but you’ve also got plenty of opportunities for exploring whenever you want a day out.
Dinas Cross: Space, Peace and Incredible Surroundings
For buyers searching for something a little more peaceful and exclusive, Castle Farm Holiday Park at Dinas Cross has a character all of its own. The park occupies an elevated position between the Pembrokeshire coast and the Preseli Hills and consists of just nine caravans within approximately 25 acres. Most pitches also have sea views towards Fishguard Harbour and beyond. It’s this sense of space that really helps distinguish Dinas Cross from the other Matthew Baker locations. If your idea of owning a caravan in Pembrokeshire is about escaping the crowds, slowing down and enjoying the countryside, Dinas Cross could be the one for you.
Discover Pwllgwaelod and Cwm-yr-Eglwys, While Fishguard and Newport are Within Easy Reach
Dinas Cross is brilliantly placed for discovering some of North Pembrokeshire’s smaller coastal gems. Nearby Pwllgwaelod Beach is a small sheltered cove looking across towards Fishguard. From Pwllgwaelod, you can also follow the valley walk across to Cwm-yr-Eglwys, another beautiful coastal spot on the opposite side of the Dinas headland. These smaller coves create a completely different experience from the vast sands at Newgale, making Dinas particularly appealing if quiet coastal walks and discovering tucked-away corners of Pembrokeshire are more your style.
Choosing Dinas doesn’t mean being isolated either. The coastal towns of Fishguard and Newport are only a few miles away in either direction, giving caravan owners access to a wider choice of shops, places to eat and things to do. Fishguard also provides another interesting option for days away from your caravan, with ferry services making trips across the Irish Sea possible. You can therefore enjoy the tranquillity of Castle Farm while still having two of North Pembrokeshire’s best-known coastal towns within easy reach. If a peaceful holiday home surrounded by acres of Pembrokeshire countryside sounds like your perfect escape, contact Matthew Baker Caravans to ask about caravan ownership at Dinas Cross.
Newport: Coast, Countryside and a Fantastic Pembrokeshire Town
Within north Pembrokeshire, you’ll find another very different opportunity for holiday home ownership at Newport Bay Caravan Parklands. Situated along the edge of the Nevern River estuary, the park gives owners access to one of the most desirable areas of North Pembrokeshire. Newport itself is a major part of the appeal. It’s a picturesque coastal town with places to eat and drink, independent businesses and beautiful scenery surrounding it. For owners who like being able to combine peaceful days at their caravan with trips into a lively local town, Newport could be an excellent choice.
Discover North Pembrokeshire's Aincient History, Newport Beach and the Parrog
Newport is also an excellent base if you enjoy discovering Pembrokeshire’s history. Nearby you’ll find Carreg Coetan Arthur, a Neolithic burial chamber that provides a glimpse into the area’s ancient past. A short journey inland also opens up even more places to discover around the Nevern Valley, including Nevern Castle. With beaches, walks, historic sites and the town of Newport all within easy reach, there’s always a reason to return to your holiday home and explore somewhere different.
Days beside the water don’t have to mean travelling far either. Newport’s coastline gives you plenty of opportunities to enjoy the outdoors, whether you’re heading towards the beach, taking a walk around the Parrog or simply admiring the scenery surrounding the Nevern estuary. It’s a very different coastal experience to Newgale. While Newgale is all about its huge open beach and Atlantic coastline, Newport combines coast, estuary, town and countryside.
