It was time to leave Tenby and we drove to Pembroke Dock to stock up at Asda – the Big City actually had a choice between Asda, Tesco and Lidl.
We drove on to the Angle Peninsular and got stuck in a traffic jam. Given that there is hardly any population on the peninsular, this was rather surprising until we noticed the signs reading “Power Station Site”. They are constructing a new power station and we were following an exceptional load and a large number of lorries, most of which were full of aggregate. After being stationary for 10 minutes we finally started moving and we soon found a turning to take us off the construction route. We drove through Freshwater West, a beautiful beach popular with kite surfers and on through the massive sand dunes that back it.
It took us a little while to find the campsite in Angle, not because it a large place, it is only a small village, but there were no signs to the site. We found Castle Farm down a lane by the church and over a small stream. The site is similar to Meadow Farm in that it has basic facilities and is on a hill although it doesn't have as good as a view. We chose a pitch without electricity because it had a view over the village but we could have had one with a hook-up although these are very limited. The people on the site were very friendly and we had a number of conversations, gaining information about the area at the same time.
We went for a walk around the village and found the school, church and village shop clustered together in the centre. The shop is well stocked and is open every day from 7 am to 9 pm – a very useful facility.
