What a find this turned out to be. Did two of the three walks & then explored the churchyard adjacent to the car park. It was a pity the church was locked. Particularly enjoyed the waterfall & the Chain Bridge & would love a week’s stay in Pwll Pendre.

National Trust car park at site. Beautiful church. Lovely views from the hill climb, which isn’t actually that bad to climb!!! Quite a few steps down to the beach. If coming in rain, the footpath and steps do flood so wear wellies!!! Small cafe and shop half way down to beach with friendly staff. Beautiful sandy cove. Don’t sit near the back due to erosion. Recommended.

We visited the garden in the summer and we had a very enjoyable visit. Its different and unexpected and delightful. We sat in the garden and sketched for a while had a picnic, enjoyed the delicious cakes and stayed for morning coffee and afternoon tea. Definitely worth a visit.

What an Aladdin's cave of fabric and haberdashery sundries. I have never seen so many different fabrics under one roof. We spent ages exploring all the rooms and were spoilt for choice. It's a good job we live so far away otherwise I'd be forever spending all my money here.

Sunday 8th September 2019. Family of 5 (ages 21 to 64). This is a gorgeous little cove. You reach it (assuming you are driving and not doing the coastal walk) via narrow lanes, proceed with caution. There is parking (limited) at the base of the hill you drive down to reach the cove. It's famous for its seals and we did see some in the bay and whilst taking a short stroll up the cliff path to the right as one faces out to sea. We also spied some decent sized jellyfish on our walk! It's a lovely spot and well worth a visit.

I was attending as a visiting speaker. The meeting venue was the Drwm, a 100-seating film and video conference venue within the library where the seating and the AV facilities are second to none. The meeting included refreshments and a voucher for the library's restaurant which features a walk-through buffet of excellent diversity and quality. Although built as a library wherein are deposited virtually every book published, the NLW hosts a series of travelling exhibitions that are well presented and interesting. Having visited many times for historical research as well as organised conferences there has always been a friendly, helpful atmosphere. The first language of the staff is Welsh but all are at least bilingual and extremely helpful. The library is currently engaged in the huge task of digitising all the significant books and documents, making them available to internet subscribers. Oh, and there's a nice little shop! Well worth a visit.

This is a ‘must do’ visit if you’re anywhere near Aberystwyth. It was a Victorian Theatre in its early life but now an excellent museum has been created. We spent Two hours looking around which was interesting and thought provoking. There is an excellent cafe serving morning coffee and lunch time snacks. A truly worthwhile visit if in the area........

On our way back from a disappointing trip to Aberystwyth we saw the signs and pulled in not knowing what we would find. Well let me just say you will not be disappointed here. The facility offers walking trails, bridleways, mountain biking trails, picnic areas, children's play area, disabled trails, breathtaking views, a gift shop, a cafe, and Red Kite Feeding!!!. For a fee of £1.50 for up to two hours or £3 for over this, you get the most amazing day out. We arrived at 2pm to discover that Red Kite Feeding took place at 3pm (2pm in winter months). We strolled around the lovely lake reading all the interactive information boards finding out facts about Red Kites and looking at the stunning views. Red Kites were flying around overhead clearly awaiting the feeding. We found the viewing area beside the lake and took a seat . The Kites knowing the time appeared from out of the trees vast swaths of them. A chap appeared from the opposite side of the lake and threw out meat. The Kites soared and danced in the air, swooping down in a magical airial display. It was a truly amazing sight. When it was over they flew back to the trees leaving a few to dive and swoop across the lake. We were entranced by the whole experience. Words can't describe it. We then headed to the cafe, which was fantastic. Homemade coffee and walnut cake cut into great wedges, delicious pulled pork crusty rolls and all at such reasonable prices. Plenty of seating inside and out, outside offering amazing views of the lake and wild birds feeding from bird feeders close by. And, lovely clean toilets!!!!! We rated this attraction number one, and came back a second time during our stay in Wales, travelling 50 minutes to do so. A fantastic day out for all ages. Well done to everyone involved, this shows how conservation and tourism can work hand in hand.
