The West Wales / Pembrokeshire / Pembrokeshire region

Nowhere are the beautiful beaches and imposing headlands of Wales more accessible to the walker than in Britain’s only coastal national park, Pembrokeshire. This remote corner of the south-west is home to the longest of the three National Trails, the Pembrokeshire Coast Path – a 186 mile long meandering odyssey that hugs the surf between St Dogmaels and Amroth.

The walking is enthralling, with most of the miles on narrow cliff-top paths that run over headlands and down to the sea. The trail passes through some breathtaking scenery. From rugged headlands that jut stubbornly out into thunderous seas, to narrow crescents of bone-white sand, lapped upon by a cerulean ocean. Sea birds fill the skies whilst porpoises, seals and even dolphins vie for your attention in the waves.

Eglwyswen area

From the door of The Old Pottery you can walk straight out on to the Preselis. The bluestones of Stonehenge come from Pembrokeshire’s Preseli Hills, and were hewn from the rugged tor of Carn Menyn. Close to Carn Menyn runs the Golden Road, an ancient track that would have been a main trade route between Wessex and Ireland when bears and wolves still roamed the valleys.

Nearby, Iron Age earthworks and burial cairns adorn a loftier summit. A stone circle named Beddarthur (Arthur’s Grave), draws attention to the legend of the Mabinogion. Arthur and his knights crossed the ridge and fought Twrch Trwyth, the magic boar, on Cwmcerwyn.
History and legend aside, walking in the Preseli Hills makes a refreshing interlude from the stunning coast path. The views from the tops seem to go on forever.

Guestbook for The Old Pottery

An excellent place to visit if you're looking for relaxation and peace. The cottage is quite modern inside, very clean and comfortable with lots to keep you busy in bad weather. It's very easy to find as the directions are very clear. The owners are very relaxed and welcoming, and helpful if you have a problem. It certainly exceeded our expectations and has left us with some great memories.

Absolutely beautiful! The cottage is situated in the Preseli hills, W. Wales and so you could walk for miles from the doorstep.

The cottage is very well equipped and to a very high standard - every thing was sparkling! Peaceful and welcoming. So many places to visit and so much to do in the surrounding area, a return visit is a must!
