Dr Beynon's Bug Farm

The Bug Farm is what happens when an entomologist (Dr Sarah Beynon, who farms and researches here) turns a hundred-acre farm outside St Davids into a visitor attraction about the small things that run the world: a tropical bug zoo, walk-through museum, wildflower trails and a barn of activities that hold children for hours — and convert a surprising number of them to spiders.

Attached is Grub Kitchen, famous as the UK's first edible-insect restaurant — cricket brownies alongside entirely bug-free café classics, so the dare is optional. The combination is genuinely unlike anywhere else in Wales, and it's the strongest wet-weather card in the county's north-west corner (the rainy-day guide agrees).

Seasonal opening days — check the farm's site. Minutes from the city, so it slots beside the cathedral and Caerfai Bay in a St Davids day.
