Day 7 – From Gower to Pembrokeshire

Today was a travel day, but one of those wonderfully meandering ones where the journey is just as rewarding as the destination. We said goodbye to the peaceful marshes of Landimore and set off westward, trading the Gower’s gentle sands for the dramatic coastlines of Pembrokeshire.

Our first stop was Burry Port, where we grabbed a hearty breakfast with a view of the lighthouse. The early light was soft and silvery over the harbor, and we had the place mostly to ourselves. A peaceful way to start the day.

From there, we made an unexpected but delightful detour to an alpaca farm. It’s not every day you find yourself surrounded by such curious, gentle creatures! We got to feed them and learn a bit about their personalities—Awen and Nessy were very intrigued (and perhaps a little confused).

Next, we reached the colorful seaside town of Tenby. With its pastel-painted buildings, old town walls, and golden beaches, Tenby has postcard charm written all over it. We strolled through the narrow lanes and along the beachfront, letting the dogs have a splash in the inviting sea—they didn’t hesitate for a second. It’s such a lively little town, yet still relaxed enough to soak in slowly.

In the late afternoon, we ventured further west to visit two of Pembrokeshire’s most iconic coastal formations: the Green Bridge of Wales and the Elegug Stacks. The towering natural arch and isolated sea stacks are nothing short of majestic, carved by millennia of wind and waves. A short walk along the clifftop path offered us jaw-dropping views and some fantastic photo opportunities—a dream for any landscape photographer.

Finally, we arrived in Newgale, our home for the next few days. Our cabin overlooks the bay and beach, the perfect place to unwind after a full day of exploring. Waves crashed gently in the distance as we settled in, a peaceful soundtrack to end an adventure-filled day.Читать далее
