Pembrey, Birds and Autumn Light
The wales their forecast promised us a fair weekend. Cloudy but with sunny periods. What it didn’t forecast was the heavy showers, strong winds and a dropping temperature. But did we let that stop us? Absolutely no! We’re staying at the caravan park just on hedge of Pembrey County Park. Just to the west of…

St Govan’s Chapel: Welsh 100 #9
A short walk from Broad Haven and Bosherston Lillie Ponds is St Govan’s Chapel. Set in a fissure in the cliff leading down to a rocky cove the chapel seems to grow out of the cliffs. St Govan was born of the Hy Cinnselach clan who lived in County Wexford in Ireland. His proper…

Aberdaron – Pilgrims Way
We hit many of targets today. Hang on, that doesn’t sound like me, more like a motivational speaker! But that said we did walk some more of the Wales Coastal Path, witnessed some fantastic scenery, sat on a great beach for a few hours, saw some great wildlife and had an ice cream. Well the…

Porthdinllaen: Welsh 100 #1
Aunty has started us on a new quest after finding a great little web site called “100 Things To Do In Wales”: http://www.walesonline.co.uk/lifestyle/fun-stuff/100-things-wales-before-you-6503970. So we have started with number one on the list: Have a pint at the Ty Coch Inn, Porthdinllaen. The things I do to keep Aunty happy, I think sometimes I deserve…
