Llansteffan Castle
Overlooking the estuary. Fantastic views across to Worm's Head in the east and Tenby to the west.
Walk around the headland beneath the castle and you get to Scott's Bay. Often deserted. A great place to exercise the dogs.
The best way to visit Scott's Bay is to drive to The National Trust's Wharley Point carpark. Drive as if you are heading back to Llansteffan, at the wooden sign for Lord's Park Farm, head for Lord's Park Farm. After about 0.5 miles, the carpark is on your left.
Park up and carry on by foot. You will find a metal gate on your right. This is the Wales Coastal Path. Follow the path for around 30mins until you arrive at Scott's Bay.

When we started visiting West Wales, Folly Farm was a small "farm experience" where you could feed the lambs. It is so much more than that now. Just look at the pictures to see how much more.
