West Wales Day Explorer

We travel to the far south west coast of Wales to St David’s, birthplace of Wales' patron saint, and the UK’s smallest city, surrounded by some of the finest coastline in Europe.  The pace of life here is noticeably slower and the Welsh language playing a major part in everyday life.  The 12th-Cathedral is a breathtaking example of Gothic architecture built on the site of a 6th-century monastery.  Royal visitors to  include William I, Henry II, Edward III and our current monarch, Queen Elizabeth II.   

The Pembrokeshire Coast National Park is almost entirely coastal and is one of the best places to visit for a chance of encountering wild dolphins, whales and porpoises.  A third of the world's population of grey seals live around this coastline too.  The tour includes a stop at St Non's Bay, a stunning location on the cliff tops of the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path, offering spectacular views across to Ramsey Island.  Nearby are the ruins of the 6^th century chapel, known traditionally as the birthplace of St David, and St Non’s Well where use of its waters to cure various ailments continued to the 18th century.   

Tenby is one of the most popular and well-known resorts in Wales.  The town is rich in ancient history, surrounded by an imposing medieval stone wall.  On arrival a walking orientation tour to explore the quaint narrow streets, stone cottages and buildings of special historic and architectural interests.  Your guide will also direct you to the picturesque harbour and three fabulous Blue Flag beaches.  Ample free time before your visit to the 15th Century Tudor Merchant House.
