DAVID A LIGHT GALLERY

David A Light Gallery sits in Newport, that proper little town in Pembrokeshire that doesn't get nearly enough attention from visitors heading straight for the coastal spots. It's a contemporary art space - the kind of place you'd stumble upon while wandering the high street and think, right, let's have a look at what's on.

The gallery focuses on modern and contemporary work, and it's refreshingly unpretentious. You'll spend somewhere between 30 minutes to an hour here depending on what's showing and how much you want to absorb. It's the sort of venue that takes its programme seriously without making you feel like you need a degree in art history to appreciate it.

Worth knowing: opening hours and admission details aren't readily available online, so ring ahead or check their social media before making the trip. It's free on most occasions, but do confirm when you call.

For families based at nearby spots like Trewrach Glamping or The Hide, this breaks up a rainy afternoon nicely - though it's not the kind of place that'll keep restless kids entertained for hours. It works better as part of a Newport visit alongside the shops and local cafes. If you're serious about art or just fancy something quieter than the postcard-perfect chaos of Tenby, it's worth a look. The town's also close enough to Fishguard Bay Resort (1.8 miles) that you could easily pop in while exploring that bit of the coast.
