Pembrokeshire - well worth a visit.

After the puppy had left us, the better half and I headed off to Wales. Mainly Pembrokeshire.

I have to say we had a splendid time - some stunning scenery and castles.

On the way we stopped off at Rhossili on the Gower and took in the Worms head. 

The next day was a circular walk around the Stackpole Estate. Taking in the Quay, Barafundle Bay (great beach) and Bosherston Lily Ponds. This was absolutely beautiful - well worth a visit. 

The next day was a walk to Tenby - a lovely walled town. A walk over to Castle hill but we couldn’t access St Catherine’s island to visit the Victorian fort (opens 20th July…). We returned to Tenby on our last night for a rather nice curry overlord the bay. 

The last full day was a trip to Pembroke and in particular it castle. The castle was great - a guided tour included in the entry fee - plenty to see as you wander around by yourself.

The cave beneath the castle was closed due to archaeological work but just at the end of the tour we were offered the chance to go down and have a talk from an archaeologist about what they were doing  https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cp36lnng046o 

Unfortunately Pembroke town was a little bit sad, with not very much going on - castle is well worth a visit.

The trip to Pembrokeshire was lovely and needed after our loss. We are planning to go back and look at some of the places that we missed out this time.
