Beauty of the Pembrokeshire Coast, Castle & Cathedral

Pembrokeshire has it all - stunning scenery, a spectacular coastline with miles of perfect sandy beaches, great attractions and a very warm Welsh welcome. The scenery on its own is fabulous, but to spoil you even more, we also take in Tenby, Pembroke Castle and St David's, the smallest city in the UK!Monday: We depart the Travel Centre this morning and make our way west with a stop en route, arriving at the hotel late afternoon.

Tuesday: Today we visit the ancient market town of Cardigan on the River Teifi estuary. Our first port of call is Cardigan Castle for a 1 hour guided tour before we explore the castle remains and stunning Grade II listed gardens full of rare plant species, at our own pace. The castle plays host to a range of permanent and temporary exhibitions to enjoy. We will then be free in Cardigan to explore the narrow streets and traditional shops of this ancient town at our leisure.

Wednesday: We spend a delightful day exploring the quintessential seaside town of Tenby whose
narrow streets wind down from the medieval centre to the picturesque harbour, framed
by pastel painted cottages. Wander through the charming, cobbled streets and take time
out to watch the world go by from a quaint café. Enjoy a stroll along the Pembrokeshire
Coast Path for stunning views or relax with an ice cream on one of Tenby’s glorious
golden sandy beaches.

Thursday: Today, we visit charming St David’s, the smallest city in Britain. We head directly for St David’s Cathedral, a real beauty amongst places of worship. We can marvel at the Rose window in the southwest nave as well as the unique wooden carved ceiling, made in the 1530s from Welsh oak. Afterwards we spend time at leisure strolling around the picturesque lanes and browsing the interesting little shops, with a visit to The Bench Ice Cream parlour a must (organic milk provided by the local cows!). Other attractions include the Oriel y Parc Gallery, which as well as displaying national works of art, contains plenty of useful information for visitors.

Friday: We bid a fond farewell to the hotel staff this morning as we make our way back to Hugglescote, with a stop en route.The Cliff Hotel & Spa
