Strata Florida Abbey

Grand medieval abbey where generations of Welsh princes are buried. The abbey of Strata Florida – Latin for ‘Vale of Flowers’ – has stood on lush meadows beside the banks of the river Teifi since 1201. It was established by white-robed Cistercian monks as part of a movement that spread like a tidal wave across the whole of western Europe in the early Middle Ages. Soon it became the most famous church in Wales after St Davids –­ a place of pilgrimage and a linchpin of Welsh culture. The displayed opening times are our general pattern. Please check the Cadw website for specific times and days, including closures.

If you're looking for a place that's full of atmosphere, this is it. Although there is only a bare skeleton of a ruined Abbey, the location of it is one that fills in the gaps of history and is really quite special. The site is mostly flat and the main body of the ruin could be accessed by wheel hairs or pushchairs. For those who are creative in writing or art, this place is inspiring. Princes were buried here and Dafydd ap Gwilym ( 14th century Welsh poet) There's a small cafe on site and a charge to go into the ruins. A car park is just opposite the site and is free. Have a look for the pilgrim!

Small shop but friendly staff. Lots of pocket money toys for children so beware of letting your children too near the shop!

Cardigan Castle

Winner of the Channel 4 Restoration of the Year, this site features 900 years of history including medieval castle walls and a Georgian house restored to its original glory. You can also stay in this great place with a mixture of serviced and self catering accommodation, 4* and 5* respectively. Our 1176 café and restaurant serves great lunches in a modern cantilevered building overlooking the river.

We visited Cardigan Castle as part of our week away, and we were so glad we did. You start off with an introductory video (the gazebo you're in has plenty of spacing between the chairs to accommodate social distancing) and then you have the freedom to explore the grounds. There's a huge garden which our dog enjoyed exploring (until the ride-on lawnmower came that is!) and we had loads of fun taking photos while sat on the Eisteddfod chair. The Manor House was really lovely and included a lot of exhibits from Cardigan's history, and the allotment was lovely to visit and I was surprised that they're still growing vegetables even with the coronavirus situation, so we could see a lot of different vegetables being grown. You can get some fantastic views from the castle walls and it made for some great photos. The entry price was very reasonable (I think it was £6 per adult and only £1 for our dog) which lets you revisit any time within a year. If we return to Cardigan we'll certainly come by again.
