Lawrenny, South Pembrokeshire

What a lovely place for a day out. We went up river in glorious sunshine and moored off at a Lawrenny Quay just in time for lunch. The award winning Lawrenny Cafe has a lawned garden overlooking the estuary. The menu offers a delicious selection of light lunches including crab, prawns, ham and I can recommend the roasted peppers filled with caramelised red onions and goats cheese. There are mouthwatering puddings, cakes and ice creams as well as a selection of wines, bottled beers & ciders, coffee, tea, cold soft drinks and my favourite Elderflower Presse by the jug.

After lunch we walked along the wooded riverbank onto the beach and then back through the village over the fields beside the church and into the wood once more. There were several rope swings along the route to keep my nephews amused and countless sticks for Alfie the dog to retrieve. We topped up with ice creams and enjoyed another romp on the beach before heading home.

For those travelling by car the lanes approaching Lawrenny are lined with ancient wind swept trees and beautiful Pembrokeshire hedges. There are occasional tantalising views of the river. A hint of what to expect in the pretty seaside village.
