The cliffs near St. David's Cathedral aren't just breathtaking—they're like the catwalks of nature, where even seagulls strut their stuff with an extra feather in their cap! Walking along these cliffs felt like participating in a high-stakes fashion show where the models are rugged rocks and the ocean breeze is the trendiest accessory.
As we strolled, the cliffs played hard to get, revealing their stunning views in a series of dramatic reveals, making us feel like we were on the set of a blockbuster movie – "Cliffs of Glamour," perhaps? The unpredictable Welsh weather added a touch of suspense, turning our leisurely walk into an adventure, wondering if we'd end up looking windswept or runway-ready by the end.
The seagulls, the unofficial masters of the cliffs, seemed to be overseeing our coastal catwalk, providing a comedic commentary with their aerial acrobatics and occasional squawks. It was as if they were giving us a critique – "Nice stride, but can you handle the wind?"
In the end, the cliffs near St. David's Cathedral delivered a picturesque performance, leaving us not only with stunning views but also with a memory of nature's runway, where the cliffs themselves are the supermodels, and we, mere mortals, are just lucky enough to take a stylish stroll in...
Read moreI used to love going to Amroth beach. It is a wide open expanse of sand, rocks and cliffs, rarely feeling crowded. I don't like it now and would advise everyone to avoid it, unless you like vast numbers of dogs, yapping, barking and pestering your children. In the past, one dog, usually on a lead, was acceptable; now, they are often in packs, roaming wildly, without supervision. I saw dog faeces left in plastic bags on rocks, other owners desperately trying to clean up vile messes left on the pebbles and one poor little girl step into dog excrement left on the path, in her bare feet. Dog owners, without exception, are completely unapologetic; how often have I been told that their animal 'won't hurt you', when it is trampling through our picnic or the children's carefully constructed sandcastle. Dogs are supposedly banned from certain beaches for a few weeks of the year, but these are neither adequately signed nor supervised. People are very aggressive if you point out the restrictions, too. Visitors to the National Park should be made aware that imposing their dogs on the places and people of Pembrokeshire is not their right and National Park information should make this totally clear. I certainly won't go to...
Read moreAbsolute hidden gem of a location in Barafundle Bay. It is really tucked away on the drive and most of the way there I was literally thinking it cannot be the right route. Have faith, and trust said TomTom. When you arrive, you can tell it's national trust as it's very well kept and sign posted. Once you park up (£6.00 cash for the entire day if in a car and the machine does not give change or accept card so take some shrapnel). After that there is a pretty decent walk to the actual beach. Half mile according to the Pembrokeshire website. So beware if you are taking granny or planning on taking a buggy as a big portion of it is steps. And the actual toilet is back at the car park where you enter. However once you conquer the steps going in and the steps going down to the beach. You will absolutely think its worthwhile, it is essentially unspoilt. No shops, grass backed beach so it essentially makes it a "secret" cove. Absolutely brilliant. Take a coolbag, a mini bbq and whatever poison you fancy downing for an afternoon and literally enjoy a place unlike any you would expect to find in Wales. (just make sure to take a binbag and clean up to leave it just as magical for the next...
