Description

Cardigan Island Coastal Farm Park is a family-run attraction in West Wales, offering stunning views of Cardigan Island, the Teifi estuary, and Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. Located on a headland just 200 metres from the island, it’s home to friendly farm animals and plenty of wildlife. Visitors can enjoy a peaceful rural setting with activities for all ages, making it a great family day out.

The park features a variety of farm animals, including sheep, pigs, goats, ponies, hens, cows, donkeys, alpacas, rabbits, and guinea pigs, with baby animals often seen throughout the year. Its clifftop location is ideal for spotting Atlantic grey seals, especially in autumn when pups appear, and sometimes dolphins offshore. Kids can enjoy timber adventure trails, swings, a sandpit, and games, while adults relax in the café or browse the gift shop.

Entry prices are £5.90 for adults, £4.90 for children aged 2–13, £5.50 for seniors, and free for under 2s. Birthday party packages start from £12.95 per child with food, decorations, and activities included.

A visit here offers a mix of fresh air, beautiful scenery, and close encounters with animals and wildlife. It’s perfect for families wanting an educational and fun outdoor experience in a safe and friendly environment. The combination of play areas, wildlife watching, and coastal walks makes it a memorable and worthwhile day out.

Features

  • Farm Animals: They have lots of traditional farm animals at the Farm Park including our large flock of friendly sheep, greedy pigs, cheeky goats, playful ponies, happy hens, cud-loving cows and cheerful donkeys (although they might not always look it!). We also have adorable alpacas as well as cute rabbits and gorgeous guinea pigs. Keep an eye out for baby animals all year round. Watching lambs frolicking in the fields during spring is a must, while oinking piglets snuffling for food and energetic foals racing around are always fun to see.
  • Wildlife: The location within a stretch of Heritage Coast, on a headland overlooking Cardigan Island nature reserve, which in turn sits in waters designated as part of Cardigan Bay Special Area of Conservation, makes the Farm Park a fantastic destination for spotting all manner of wildlife. A small colony of Atlantic grey seals, which breed in the sea caves of the cliffs of the Farm Park, can be seen in the waters or hauled out on the rocks virtually every day the park is open. Seal pups, a particular favourite of visitors, are usually spotted during September and October. These inquisitive creatures are best viewed from the land as this has the lowest impact upon their environment.
  • Play: There are plenty of play activities at the Farm Park to keep children of all ages entertained. Our timber adventure trail is always popular, with challenging obstacles to test agility, balance and coordination. Budding footballers can take aim at our farm-themed shoot and score game, while those with a more artistic flair can doodle and draw on the outdoor chalkboard. The outdoor play area also includes swings and a large sandpit, which means a visit to the Farm Park is just as good as a day at the beach, and there are also some games and puzzles to keep little ones busy.
  • Stay: Pitch up for stunning views over the Teifi Estuary to Cardigan Bay, Pembrokeshire Coast National Park and of course Cardigan Island, plus have Farm Park fun on your doorstep included in your stay! Part of the Camping and Caravanning Club, our small campsite is located on our farm adjacent to the Farm Park. After a day at the Farm Park visiting the farm animals and viewing the seals, or exploring the surrounding area including the beautiful beaches, settle down and watch a spectacular sunset over the sea. You might even see a pod of dolphins showing off their acrobatics!
