Scolton Manor

Just a few miles west of Noble Court tucked away in the countryside you’ll find Scolton Manor. The old Manor House, built in 1842, is a popular attraction. The only cost is a car parking fee as there's plenty of free activities in the main Park grounds including Bike Trail and Pump Track, Bird Hide and Ponds, Eco-Explorer Woodland Village, Margaret the Steam Locomotive, Playground, Pirate Ship and Musical Play Area, Sculpture Trail, The Pembrokeshire Beekeeping Centre and the Walled Garden.  There's plenty of free activities to do on the Park Ground.   

Margaret the steam locomotive, transported slate across Pembrokeshire before retiring to the grounds of Scolton Manor in 1974.  If you like linking a bit of history for your children why not look at where the slate came into Pembrokeshire and the industrial links in the county.  If you wish to explore further there's the old Slate Quarry now the Blue Lagoon at Abereiddy, or the amazing quarry at Rosebush. 

Buy some delicious local produce in advance, and enjoy a perfect picnic in the grounds.
