Picturesque Pembrokeshire and the Gower Peninsula
PICTURESQUE PEMBROKESHIRE AND THE GOWER PENINSULA. The natural beauty of the Pembrokshire 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 the centre of the historic city of Camarthen for our base and ideal place to visit this delightful corner of Wales.

Day Two. On our wonderful tour of this beautiful part of Wales we take in the hidden delights of Tenby, considered to be the main holiday resort in South West Wales, with two superb beaches, old town walls with some interesting side streets and alleyways to explore. Tenby is always a pleasant and friendly place to visit. After some time here we make our way to the wonderful Picton Castle and Woodland Garden where we have included a guided tour of the castle and time to enjoy the gardens and galleries. Picton is regarded as Pembrokeshire's finest stately home and garden, situated close to the estuary of the Cleddau River not far from Haverfordwest, it is one of the most beautiful gardens and grounds to visit in West Wales.
