The Storybox

The Storybox sits just outside Haverfordwest and is one of those small-scale attractions that works brilliantly if you're already in the area, less so if you're making a special trip. It's essentially a interactive storytelling space where you can engage with Welsh narratives and local tales - the kind of thing that feels a bit more substantial than a visitor centre but less demanding than a full museum.

You'll get the most from it if you're interested in Welsh folklore or local history rather than looking for a full day out. Kids might enjoy the hands-on element for an hour or so, but don't expect them to be riveted for longer. The real value comes if you're staying at one of the nearby caravan parks - Nolton Cross or Stargaze Glamping are both within walking distance - and treating it as a rainy-day backup alongside coastal walks.

Since Pembrokeshire Coast National Park sits just 2.9 miles away and the seaside parks like Newgale and Broad Haven are only four miles or so further on, you'd be wise to slot The Storybox into a morning before heading to the beaches. Honestly, if the weather's decent, the coastline itself tells a far better story. But on a grey afternoon, when you're looking for something low-key and local, it's worth a look. Check ahead for opening hours and admission costs before you go - details aren't widely advertised online.
