Enjoyed a great walk in the Preseli Hills during our recent holiday in the area.Car parking was easy in an off road park. We followed a path that had obviously been traveled by quite a few before as we didn't want to get lost in a place that was new to us. We were walking in mid-November and there were places where the ground was really boggy so take care and wear good footwear. We did take on our walk on a lovely clear day, which is essential if you want to really appreciate the views. My dog, Holly Terrier, and I didn't come across any farm animals on our walk but if you have your dog with you take a lead as there were a few wandering sheep in the far distance.
2. West Blockhouse
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 3 reviews
West Blockhouse stands alone, perched spectacularly on the edge of a cliff overlooking the sea. This fort once held accomodation for 34 men and one officer. West Blockhouse can be booked for short breaks with the Landmark Trust, a charity that restores historic buildings at risk and makes them available for holidays.

West Blockhouse is an amazing place to stay. It's a Landmark Trust property and has been lovingly, and authentically, restored. It's a 'fort', or 'castle', which was a genuine, functioning part of British Army coastal defences. It's a long drive from anywhere; but worth it! You could not be any closer to the end of Wales, right on the cliff edge with spectacular views and access to steep, precarious cliffs. For the timid, there's a very safe grassed area, though children would need continuous supervision. It's perfectly romantic and you can enjoy gazing into the Celtic Sea (part of the North Atlantic) and listening to the sound of waves and birds. The roof is also accessible, safe, flat and large. Inside, it's a bit like being in a boat with lots of wood panelling. It's totally cosy due to the immense, thick walls. Children will love it, with endless places to explore and imagine. Adults will enjoy the quirkiness, history and general sense of well-being. It's not an 'attraction'; it's a place to stay.
