Alun Davies Gallery

The Alun Davies Gallery sits just outside Haverfordwest, a working studio and exhibition space where you can actually watch the artist at work if you time it right. It's a proper intimate setup - the kind of place where you're not herded through on a predetermined route, but instead wander at your own pace and chat with Davies himself if he's there. The work tends toward contemporary pieces with Welsh connections, though the specific output varies depending on what he's currently focused on.

This is really for art enthusiasts rather than casual browsers. If you're the type who enjoys understanding an artist's process and don't mind asking questions, you'll get far more from it than someone looking for a quick cultural tick-box. Kids will likely lose interest after fifteen minutes unless they're genuinely keen on art.

Practically speaking, you'll want to ring ahead or check online before you visit - details on opening hours and admission aren't widely advertised, so a quick phone call saves a wasted journey. Allow thirty to forty minutes if you go, longer if Davies is there and wants to chat.

Coupled with a Pembrokeshire camping holiday, it works as a rainy-day option or a morning activity before heading to the coast. Pembrokeshire Meadows Camping, about six miles away, is the standout choice among local parks if you need somewhere to base yourself. The gallery's close enough to Haverfordwest that you can pair it with lunch in town, which makes for a proper half-day outing rather than an isolated stop.
