The West Wales / Pembrokeshire / Pembrokeshire region
Pembrokeshire is a place of magic, mystery & enchantment with wild landscapes, and a rich and ancient history and culture.
When you arrive, you are sure to sense the ever-present power of the land imbued with five-thousand years of deeply layered history. Our area was of great spiritual significance to its early inhabitants, and an abundance of ancient monuments, relics, and sacred sites surround us. The Stone-Age, Iron-Age and Neolithic settlers, the Pagans and Druids, and the Celts all left their marks, which you can find within walking distance around our property. The Bluestones in the mountains here were so important to the Neolithics that they transported these huge stones, which weighed about four tones, to Stonehenge, 250 km away. There are many ancient standing stones and tumuli dotted across our region, including Pentre Ifan, a short walk away. Later, these were the grounds of Merlin, King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, and, as legend has it, 'our mountain, Carn Ingli (Angel Mountain) was where St. Brynach spent 40 days and nights communing with the angels. You can still find St. Brunach's cave in the forest above us. Our area also seems to be of special interest to life outside our world. Pembrokeshire is within the hub of extraterrestrial activity known as the 'Welsh Triangle'. Much is forgotten, or not yet understood, but it is clear that there is profound power inherent in the land here.
A web of public footpaths take you right from our doorstep through incredible and varied landscapes.
Heading upwards from the house, you will discover secret caves and streams amongst fairy-tale wooded valleys. Then, as you reach the heather-clad open moorlands, you can climb over the rocky crags and outcrops, and admire the view of the rolling hills and coastline below. Up here, you can mountain bike, ride horses, and explore the ancient settlement remains in the company of buzzards, ravens, sheep and wild mountain ponies.
A few minutes walk downhill from the house, will lead you to the Pembrokeshire coast path, which boasts over 186 miles of wild windswept cliff tops ablaze with wild flowers, and endless discoveries of hidden beaches, quiet coves, secret caves, thriving wildlife and the ferocious atlantic ocean. Our village, Trefdraeth, meaning 'Beach-Town', centres around a 1 mile long beach with dunes and an estuary, protected by craggy headlands. It provides Ideal conditions for swimming, windsurfing, sailing, canoeing, fishing and birdwatching to name a few.
The nearby medieval village of Newport*/Trefdraeth is historically a fishing, farming, and market town, and still maintains a strong sense of cultural and lingual integrity. The Norman church and castle stand proudly over the town's tightly winding roads and stone houses. You will discover many family run shops, cafes, and restaurants that seem to be from another era. There is so much culture to experience, from fishing in a coracle, to milking a cow, to Welsh choir festivals, and much more, but you won't make it a real Welsh experience until you go to an old gnarly pub after watching the local rugby match.
*Not to be confused with Newport, Gwent in South Wales
Newport area
.The little village of Newport/Trefdraeth has many convenient amenities, with the charm of its small community (roughly 4,000 people). There are excellent restaurants, pubs and cafes, (the locally caught seafood is a must) as well as the usual shops such as a bakery, a butcher's, a news-agents, post-office, eco centre, and a convenience store. There are numerous art galleries, craft shops, books shops and an antique shop. There are many sports facilities including an excellent golf course, tennis courts, sports field, bicycle rentals, horse stables and tours, and boat club. Historic sites are all around us, and there are too many to mention, but we would highly recommend touring the local standing stones, churches, castles and the Iron-Age fort as a good start. When you arrive, we will provide you with a helpful information package containing more detailed information about all of these activities, and we will be glad to help you find your way around and make recommendations to suit your needs.

The Preseli Hills region had great spiritual significance for its early inhabitants. Cromlechs (like Pentre Ifan and Carreg Samson), standing stones and tumuli are widespread. Legend has it that St. Brynach, a friend and contemporary of St. David, communed with the angels on the summit of Carn Ingli (Angel Mountain) which can be seen from our property. You can take a short walk to it across fields and open moorland, climb the bluestone crags and explore the ancient settlement remains in the company of buzzards, ravens and wild mountain ponies.

Guestbook for The Old Rectory
"Wow! This has been such a great escape for us. To get out of the city into this incredible wild landscape. We were really able to get calm here and take a breather from it all. We adventured during the day, and spent evenings around the wood-stove in your cosy inglenook. Walking along the cliffs just down the road was so invigorating. The coast path just keeps going. The ever changing landscape, the sun and blustery wind. Everything is so wild here. The woods just up from your house are incredible too. There is a real sense of magic there. So many bluebells, little winding trees, and bubbling streams. I'm sure that there must be some elves living there. You have done an amazing job of preserving the character of this new place, but accommodating our modern needs. i can see why the national tourist board awarded you 4 stars. You have provided everything we need and more, at higher standards than we could have expected, but it has been so much more than that. It has been a real taste of the wild, and an escape to the magical. Thank You! We WILL be back." Susan and Family (Derbyshire) November 2008
