Holidays in South Wales
Start planning your Great British break
South Wales caravan holidays and holiday parks
South Wales hosts a unique mix of cosmopolitan cities, staples of the seaside and undiscovered stretches of sand that feel as if they’ve been untouched for years. As you navigate from east to west, each settlement offers something different, making a South Wales holiday one of the most diverse the UK has to offer. The further west you go, the sparser the population. When you reach Pembrokeshire, you’ll have arrived in arguably the UK’s prettiest county. Home to more Blue Flag beaches than any other, unspoilt sand plays host to you without stress.
Our four South Wales holiday parks each provide their own warm welcome. Three are centred around tremendous Tenby, with Quay West the outlier on the Irish Sea coast. Fancy bringing your dog? Check out our dog friendly holidays to South Wales.

Things to do in South Wales
Holidays in South Wales mean golden sand stretching for miles, winding coastal walks and historic harbours. Located within the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park (the only coastal national park in Britain), Kiln Park is just a short walk from the photogenic fishing village of Tenby.
As well as drinking in the view at Cardigan Bay, you could take a boat trip out to see bottlenose dolphins up close. For something a bit more urban, don't forget the big cities of South Wales – Cardiff is an arts and cultural centre, while Swansea has quaint Victorian arcades. Both will make any shopaholic very happy.
