There is a lot to see, best option is to checkout 'sites within 20 km' of the following most popular......

It was a few years ago now, but I wrote a short weblog on the area when passing through on my way to Ireland.

See http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/user/2381/weblog/15 and scroll down to 'Ireland Excursion Pt 1'. We did that lot in a day!

There's loads. Treaclechop's blog lists most of them:

But 'must-sees' include Pentre Ifan, Carreg Coetan Arthur, the very weird Cerrig y Gof, Carreg Samson and I really like Llech-y-Drybedd (Llech-y-Tripedd).

Have fun!

If you are there when this is on you might find it interesting. The people taking the course know the local megaliths very well.

One site that stands out in my mind is Parc-y-Meirw,

It's not spectacular but there are some fantastic views towards the sea and my overriding memory is of the peace and quiet of the place. Parking is a bit of a pain though...

just back from Fishguard, it was brilliant, rained a few days, but it didnt stop me.

managed to get to a few sites, thanks to everyone for the suggestions. we visited the ancient hill fort and Pentre Ifan and a few others.

had a brilliant time and will deffinatly be going back.

also stayed in a brilliant caravan that was in its own feield isolated away from anywhere and is highly recomended
