Family days out at Dinefwr
There’s always something to do at Dinefwr, whatever the weather. Explore and play in Newton House, discover what’s new in the Oak Yard, enjoy lunch in the café, take a walk around the ancient parkland and if you are feeling energetic, head to the majestic ruins of Dinefwr Castle.
The Oak Yard
A place for imaginations to run wild. An area designed with children in mind, and the place for families at Dinefwr.
Step in to the Oak Yard and head for Water Play (pack the waterproofs), create a musical tune and play house in Sied Dwt.
Relax under the baby oak that sits proudly at the centre and don't forget to pick up a coffee from the takeaway cafe to enjoy whilst the kids play.
The Oak Yard is the place for play - and you'll even spot that in the scaffolding that's up whilst conservation work is being carried out on the windows. How many pick boards can you see?
An area that will have new things to offer throughout the year.
What’s to see in the Parkland?
Outdoors there’s acres of parkland to explore, perfect for running, jumping and playing.
Will you spot the White Park Cattle out in the front field or will you be on a mission to visit Dinefwr Castle? Whatever you’re after there’s plenty of fun to be had outdoors at Dinefwr.
In the Deer Park you’ll find the boardwalk path which is great for buggies and the takeaway café’s open in the car park ready for that cuppa or sweet treat to keep you going on your walk.
Not sure where to walk? Our team will be more than happy to help you discover the right walk for you, there’s also a map in the car park.
