Over Hang Climbing Centre

Clinging to artificial holds thirty feet above ground level might not sound like everyone's cup of tea, but this indoor climbing centre just outside Tenby proves proper addictive once you get started. The walls here cater to complete beginners through to seasoned climbers, with routes marked by different coloured holds to indicate difficulty levels.

Families with older kids will find this a brilliant rainy day option - there's something deeply satisfying about conquering a route that looked impossible from the bottom. The staff are patient with newcomers and safety briefings are thorough without being tedious. Younger children under eight might struggle with the physical demands, but teenagers absolutely love it.

Expect to spend a good two to three hours here if you really get into it, though your forearms will be screaming long before then. The centre feels well-maintained and properly equipped, which matters when you're trusting your safety to the gear.

Staying at Saltern Holiday Park or Haven Kiln Park puts you within easy reach, making this a cracking backup plan when Pembrokeshire's famous beaches are getting battered by Atlantic storms. It's certainly more engaging than another round of crazy golf, and the sense of achievement when you finally crack that tricky overhang is worth the inevitable muscle ache the next day.
