Mynydd Caregog

The walk up Mynydd Caregog rewards you with proper views across Pembrokeshire's coastline - nothing dramatic in terms of height, but the vistas across to Cardigan Bay make it worthwhile on a clear day. From Newport, it's a straightforward hike that takes a couple of hours if you're in no rush, and you'll spot the Preseli Hills peeling away to the south as you climb.

It's the kind of walk that suits families who don't mind a bit of effort, or anyone keen on coastal scenery without needing proper mountaineering skills. The terrain is moorland - exposed and windswept, which means dress for the weather even if it looks fine from the car park. Allow three hours for a comfortable round trip if you stop for the views.

If you're staying at one of the holiday parks nearby - Llwyngwair Manor is closest at under three miles away - Mynydd Caregog makes a solid half-day outing. The Pembrokeshire Coast Path is only a short drive away too, so you could combine this with coastal walking. Best visited on a morning when the light's decent and the path isn't sodden. Afternoons can see the visibility drop quickly if cloud rolls in from the sea. The walk itself is free, naturally, being moorland rather than a managed attraction. Go for the exercise and the wide-open spaces rather than any specific landmark at the top.
