Whether you’re interested in nature, history, or the traditional villages that dot the beautiful landscape, you’ll find plenty to entertain you while you're staying in your West Wales holiday cottage.
Start your trip by reconnecting with nature at Bwlch Nant yr Arian Forest, which is a beautiful space to get out and enjoy a long hike, bike ride, run, or even horse ride. The great thing is that all of these come with outstanding views of the Cambrian Mountains or Cardigan Bay. You may also catch a glimpse of the most common bird of prey in Wales, the Red Kite.
Discover the area’s varied history by visiting St Davids Cathedral, the site of which dates back to 589 A.D. The present building was built around 1180 A.D. and is very well preserved. The cathedral is located in St Davids, which, as mentioned above, is the smallest city in the UK. While there, take a walk up to Solva, a small and pleasant harbour town located just three miles away along the coastal path.
In Pembroke, you can see one of the best-preserved castles in the UK. Pembroke Castle was built between the 11th and 13th centuries, though it has recently undergone significant restoration work. The castle’s location on the edge of a river makes it particularly picturesque, while inside, visitors can explore the labyrinth of corridors and rooms, and also take a look at exhibitions detailing just what life was like during the castle’s heyday.
Head anywhere along the coast and you’ll find something worth visiting. The West Wales coastline is stunningly beautiful, featuring some of the best sand and clearest waters you'll find anywhere in the UK. There are plenty of coastal cottages available in the region, so you can stay right by the beach and enjoy the stunning ocean views!
Water sports, scenery, and fun seaside towns like Aberystwyth will all be highlights of your stay in a West Wales holiday letting.
