Out and About

Enjoy the best of Wales

Penwern Fach, Welsh for “Head of the Elder Grove”, once a working farm, has now “retired” to a more peaceful way of life. The original traditional stone buildings have been sympathetically converted and nestle in 10 acres of private grounds in the heart of beautiful countryside – it is easy to feel you have escaped to another world.

Cenarth Falls In Winter

Within easy reach of Newcastle Emlyn, Cardigan and the spectacular coastline of Cardigan Bay and just over a mile from the picturesque village of Cenarth – home to the famous waterfalls and salmon fishing on the River Teifi. A beautiful riverside walk through the village is an ideal way to enjoy a summer’s evening .

Cardigan is just 10 minutes away with an array of fascinating shops and a cultural past that spans right back to the first Eisteddfod in 1176 held at the Castle which has had a multi- million pound restoration and is now open to the public, putting this thriving market town on everyone’s “must visit” list.

 

Newcastle Emlyn, some 3 miles away is a traditional old market town on the meandering River Teifi, with an excellent choice of shops including antique, craft and book shops, a weekly life-stock market where you can observe the auctioneers selling the animals and the ruins of the only Welsh stone castle in the region, probably founded circa 1240.

To the west of Cardigan is St. Dogmaels, situated at the end of the famous Pembrokeshire Coastal Path which runs up from Amroth in the south covering a distance of about 186 miles along the magnificent coastline. The Coastal Path has now been “joined up” with others around Wales to form the unique All Wales Coastal Path.
