Discover Newport
Newport, a charming small town, is situated in a prime location between the enchanting Preselis, known for its myths and legends, and the glistening Cardigan Bay. As you explore the town, you’ll be delighted by its array of artisan producers, independent restaurants, and welcoming pubs.
The beaches are a must-visit – the picturesque Parrog or the wonderful Traeth Mawr (Big Beach) – immerse yourself in the breathtaking views and delightful walks.
Both beaches are perfect for families, and you can spend your days building sandcastles or enjoying various watersports. Traeth Mawr is conveniently located along the Pembrokeshire Coast path and is overlooked by the mystical Carnignli Mountain. They warmly welcome dogs all year round but it’s recommended to keep them within sight at all times.
Allow your furry companions to roam the beautiful sandy beaches, stroll along the charming coastal paths, and unwind in dog-friendly establishments like The Golden Lion and Castle Inn. Newport offers a selection of lovely dog-friendly holiday cottages, providing the perfect opportunity for you and your pup to explore the coastal town together.
