Day 1

We travel to Carmarthen and arrive to enjoy tea/coffee and Welsh cake on arrival.

Day 2

Saundersfoot & Picton Castle
This morning we travel west to the popular small seaside resort of Saundersfoot, where we stay awhile with time to explore the little harbour, before leaving for the short ride to Tenby. With the old town walls, interesting little side streets and alleyways to explore and superb beaches, Tenby is South West Wales’s main holiday resort and is always a pleasant and friendly place to visit. Later, we visit Picton Castle and Woodland Garden. Regarded as Pembrokeshire’s finest stately home and gardens, Picton is situated close to the estuary of the Cleddau River, not far from Haverfordwest. There are 40 acres of some of the most beautiful gardens and grounds in West Wales.

Day 3

Gower Peninsula
We explore the beautiful unspoilt scenery of the Gower Peninsula, designated an 'area of outstanding natural beauty'. We visit the picture postcard resort of Mumbles, view the nature reserve of Worm's Head, and Rhossili Bay, where the 250ft cliff drops steeply to the beach below.

Day 4

St. David's
Today we drive to St. David's with stops at Newgale Sands and St Bride's Bay along the way. St. David's, birthplace of the patron Saint of Wales, has a beautiful cathedral, the smallest in Britain, well worth a visit. From St. David's we head around the Preseli Mountains back to Carmarthen.

Day 5

After breakfast we begin our homeward journey.
