South Wales Tour Part Two

We left Freshwater East Caravan Club site on Thursday morning, April 2, to start exploring the next part of the Welsh coastline. It was a bright but blowy morning as we drove across the Castlemartin Firing Range into the National Park. The Pembrokeshire National Park was gorgeous in the sunshine and amazingly not very crowded. First stop was St Govan’s Chapel, which was built sometime between 8 and 14 centuries ago, and is hewn from the rock. Steep steps down to it as it’s almost at sea level but well worth it.

South Wales Tour Part One

We had decided to make the most of meeting up with friends to see the premiere of Pride The Musical in Cardiff by extending our trip to take in more of the South Wales coastline.

We arrived around 19.00 to find the local council had been digging up the road we normally park in. Luckily, there was still a spot where we could park and spend the night (P4N#634085). A lovely evening was had with far too much wine drunk!

Burbeck Pier in Weston finally being renovated.
