When it comes to finding a place that truly lets you switch off from everyday life and create new memories, Pembrokeshire stands out. Located in the far west corner of Wales, this remarkable county is often described as a place that feels familiar, comforting and special all at once.
But why do so many people choose to make it their permanent home away from home at Matthew Baker Caravan parks? Let’s find out.
The Coastline
Pembrokeshire and the coast are synonymous and for good reason – it has breathtaking, dramatic cliffs and quiet coves. Nowhere in Pembrokeshire is far from the sea, so if your static caravan is near Newport, Dinas Cross or Newgale, the coast is always close by. Unlike other National Parks that include small stretches of coastline, Pembrokeshire was protected specifically to conserve and enhance the natural beauty. That makes it the only National Park in the UK where the coast is the main focus rather than a feature on the edge. Having such a natural and unspoilt coastline also means it is rich with wildlife, making it perfect with nature lovers. What’s more, nowhere in the county is further than 10 miles away from the coast.
The Walks
Having stunning coastlines is great to look at, but luckily, Pembrokeshire has a 186 mile-long coastal path that allows you to fully appreciate the dramatic coastline. Along with this, the county offers other amazing locations to walk, hike or climb. For static caravan owners, this means freedom. You can step out for a short evening walk, enjoy a morning stroll with a coffee, or spend a whole day exploring dramatic headlands, sandy bays and charming coastal villages.
The Beaches
Another benefit of being so close to the stunning coastline is the beaches, with Pembrokeshire having more Blue Flag beaches than any other county in the country. Newgale Beach, on the doorstep to one of our parks at Matthew Baker Caravans, is one of the Blue Flag winners. Having so many beaches gives you plenty of choice when escaping, whether you’d like to be on a traditional ice cream and sand castles kind of beach or explore a wild secluded cove, you can do it in Pembrokeshire. The sea is also free from pollution and is clear and great for swimming and water sports.
The Lifestyle
With the coast at its heart, Pembrokeshire encourages a lifestyle built around walking, outdoor activity, fresh air and sea views, and tranquillity.
For many caravan owners, this is one of the biggest benefits as they find they are a lot more active and happier here.
Being a rural location, however, doesn’t mean that amenities are far away. There are plenty of local shops in walking distance from Matthew Baker Caravan Parks as well as activities on rainy days if you make a short car journey.
Pembrokeshire makes the perfect location for a home away from home because it allows you to fully switch off from modern-day life and fully appreciate Mother Nature. The coast, beaches and landscape will make you want to explore, improving your physical and mental wellbeing. Get in touch to buy your ultimate home away from home at Matthew Baker Caravans.
