🏰 Carew Castle & Tidal Mill – Spooky History by the Water
Carew Castle is one of Pembrokeshire’s most atmospheric spots — and it gets even more mysterious around Halloween! Explore its ancient stone halls by torchlight, follow ghostly trails, and hear stories of the castle’s long and haunted past. Afterwards, pop next door to the Tidal Mill to see one of the UK’s only restored mills in action and enjoy a gentle walk around the millpond.
📍 Carew, near Tenby – around 20 minutes from Saundersfoot
👻 Scolton Manor, Haverfordwest – Family-Friendly Frights
Scolton Manor is always a family favourite — and during half-term it transforms with spooky trails, crafts, and Halloween fun. Kids can hunt for ghosts in the woodland, join pumpkin carving workshops, and explore the Victorian manor’s hidden corners. Don’t miss the café for hot chocolate and autumn treats afterwards!
📍 Haverfordwest – about 40 minutes from Saundersfoot
🎃 Wyndsor Farm Pumpkin Patch, Lamphey – Pick Your Perfect Pumpkin
Nothing says autumn quite like a trip to the pumpkin patch! Head to Wyndsor Farm near Lamphey for a fun-filled afternoon of pumpkin picking, photo opportunities, and family memories. A farm full of bright orange pumpkins of all shapes and sizes, with this years newest addition - the pumpkin canon - it’s a must for families staying with us over half-term.
📍 Lamphey – around 30 minutes from Saundersfoot
🌲 Picton Castle Gardens, Haverfordwest – Enchanted Autumn Walks
For a gentler day out, Picton Castle is beautiful in autumn. Wander through the woodland gardens, spot the changing colours, and join one of their seasonal autumn or Halloween trails for children. It’s a perfect mix of fresh air, fun and Pembrokeshire charm.
