White Peak

From the summit, the Preseli Hills roll away to the north while Carmarthen Bay glints in the distance - White Peak delivers proper panoramic views across west Wales without demanding a serious mountain hike. The walk up takes about 45 minutes from Narberth, following well-marked footpaths through farmland and patches of woodland. It's more hill than peak really, but the 360-degree vista from the top makes it well worth the modest effort.

Families with older children will find this a manageable introduction to Welsh hill walking. The terrain isn't too challenging, though proper walking boots are advisable after rain when the paths get muddy. Kids under eight might find the steady climb a bit much, but teenagers often surprise themselves by enjoying the views once they reach the top.

Best tackled on a clear day when visibility stretches to the coast - there's little point slogging up in thick mist. Allow two hours for the round trip, including time to appreciate the scenery and catch your breath at the summit. The peak sits conveniently between several holiday parks including Woodland Vale and Folly Farm, making it an easy day trip for families staying in the area. Pack a flask and some sandwiches - the grassy summit makes for a lovely picnic spot.
