The natural beauty of the Pembrokeshire coast and the Gower peninsula are famed all over the world. Glorious sandy beaches and seemingly endless rugged coastline give way to the Preseli Hills, historic towns, and little villages. We stay in Carmarthen for our tour, ideal for visiting this delightful corner of Wales.
HOLIDAY HIGHLIGHTS
Tenby | Carmarthen | Picton Castle and Woodland Garden | St Davids | St Bride’s Bay | Mumbles | Gower Peninsula | Guided Gower Peninsula Tour & Cream Tea
DAY ONE – Arrival
We depart from your home and travel south to Carmarthen arriving in good time to relax with tea/coffee and Welsh cakes before our dinner this evening.
DAY TWO – Tenby and Picton Castle
This morning we travel west to the popular holiday resort of Tenby. With the old town walls, interesting little side streets and alleyways to explore and superb beaches, Tenby is Southwest Wales’s main holiday resort and is always a pleasant and friendly place to visit. We have time for lunch in Tenby before we are on our way to Picton Castle and Woodland Garden. Regarded as Pembrokeshire’s finest stately home and gardens, Picton is situated close to the estuary of the Cleddau River, not far from Haverfordwest. There are 40 acres of some of the most beautiful gardens and grounds in West Wales.
DAY THREE – Mumbles, Gower Heritage Centre and Gower Guided Tour
Leaving the hotel we head south through Kidwelly and make our way to the picture postcard resort of Mumbles, delightfully located on Swansea Bay. We have time for a look round and to obtain lunch. This afternoon we have a short drive to the Gower Heritage Centre at Parkmill. Here we meet our guide for a tour taking us to the beautiful unspoilt scenery of the Gower Peninsula, designated an ‘Area of outstanding natural beauty’. After the tour we return to the Heritage Centre and enjoy a Gower Cream Tea.
DAY FOUR – St Bride’s Bay, Newgale Sands and St Davids
Today our excursion takes us to St Bride’s Bay and Newgale Sands to the magical place of St. Davids, birthplace of the patron saint of Wales. St. Davids has a beautiful Cathedral, the smallest in Great Britain, well worth a visit. (Please be aware that the cathedral sits within a valley. Visiting the cathedral from St Davids city centre involves descending/ascending relatively steep slopes). From St. Davids we head around the Preseli Mountains back to the hotel.

After breakfast we leave our hotel and make our journey home with comfort stops en route.
