The Perfect Start to Your Adventure Break
Before the big adventures begin, ease into camp life together.

Wild Spaces nature trail - After check-in, take a slow walk around the site to get your bearings, find the covered spaces, spot the pigs, explore the woods and head back to camp to light the campfire. Pick up a map from Soo's shed.
-
Wild Spa and Sauna reset after the journey - Enjoy the sauna for your first evening and let everyone fully switch off. It’s a brilliant way to relax after travelling, warm up, chat, laugh and ease into your adventure break.

Games from Soo’s Shed - Grab a few games from Soo’s Shed and settle into a relaxed first night together. Think easy fun, no screens, plenty of laughter and a gentle way to bring the group together.

Wildlife and stargazing moment - As night falls, listen for owls, look for bats, watch the stars and enjoy the quiet. It’s simple, but it really sells the magic of arriving somewhere wild and peaceful.

Adventurous days for groups at Top of the Woods
Let the adventure begin. To help you plan your time at Top of the Woods, we’ve pulled together some of our favourite ways to explore Pembrokeshire and Cardigan Bay.
There’s a reason the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park is the UK’s only National Park with a coastline. Wild cliffs, hidden coves, sweeping beaches, big skies and unforgettable sea views make it one of the most inspiring places to explore outdoors together.
From big-energy days on the coast to slower moments in nature, there’s something here for every kind of group. You might find yourselves jumping into the sea on a coasteering session, paddling along the River Teifi, catching a wave, following a stretch of the coast path, or heading out in search of wildlife, waterfalls and hidden beaches.
Whether you’re travelling with family or friends, these adventures are the kind of days everyone talks about long after the holiday ends, before coming back to camp for firepits, food, stories and starry skies together.
