Cardigan Bay & Pembrokeshire

Day 1

We depart the local area and make a stop for lunch before arriving at the Cliff Hotel & Spa mid-afternoon, ready to settle in and get acquainted with all the facilities on site before dinner.

Day 2

Surrounded by some of the finest coastline in Europe is St Davids, the smallest cathedral city in Britain and a popular location for pilgrims and artists alike. Adjacent to its 12th century cathedral stands the magnificent ruins of the medieval Bishop's Palace. We return to the hotel for the afternoon at leisure.

Day 3

Excursion through the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park to Tenby, one of the UK's finest coastal holiday resorts, which has retained its natural charm, narrow streets, harbour and beautiful beaches. Tenby is steeped in ancient history and surrounded by an imposing medieval stone wall. This afternoon we visit the lovely market town of Cardigan, with its unspoilt townscape and rich heritage.

Day 4

Today we head to the Vale of Rheidol Railway where we join the narrow-gauge steam train on a journey through the changing countryside taking in wide open fields, meadows, woodland and rugged mountain scenery from Aberystwyth to Devil's Bridge and back.

Day 5

Today we visit the seaside town of New Quay on the Cardigan Bay coast with its picturesque houses, pubs and restaurants that cling to the sides of the hills rising above the blue waters of the bay. Here we have an included boat trip to see the fabulous coastline and hopefully spot some dolphins and other wildlife. In the afternoon we spend some time in the charming little Georgian port town of Aberaeron with its elegant brightly painted town houses.

Day 6

After breakfast, we head home with suitable refreshment stops on route.
