Porthgain Village and harbour

• The nearest village to the cottage is Porthgain - once a prosperous nineteenth century industrial harbour which exported slate from local quarries at Porthgain and Abereiddi.

Beaches at Abereiddi, Traethllyfyn, Abermawr & Aberbach

• North of the cottage are Abermawr and Aberbach beaches – enjoy the walk down through the valley to Abermawr and make sure to catch the amazing carpet of bluebells in the spring.
• To the south of Porthgain on the coast path you will reach the metal steps down onto Traethllyfyn beach – a wide sandy expanse (avoid high tide) great for swimming, walking the dog, picnics and games of frisbee!
• A little further on is Abereiddi – a good family beach famous for its black sand and start of the short walk round to the Blue Lagoon – a deep flooded quarry in the rocks famous for cliff jumping and as the venue for the Red Bull diving competition! 

Whitesands Beach

St Davids

Its charming huddle muddle of shops, galleries, bars and restaurant are protectively arranged around magnificent St Davids Cathedral and the atmospheric Bishop's Palace ruins. Book a thrilling boat trip out to the internationally important bird islands. RSPB Ramsey Island just 1 km offshore has impressive sea cliffs teeming with seabirds and the coastal waters around are frequented by seals, dolphins and passing whales.

Fishguard Town and The Last Invasion Tapestry

• Fishguard Farmers Market is held in the Fishguard Town Hall every Saturday and a weekly market every Thursday. There are delicious local produce and crafts on offer and the market is well worth a visit.
• Upstairs in the Town Hall the gallery contains the remarkable Last Invasion Tapestry. Made in 1997 to commemorate the bicentenary of the 1797 invasion by the French - the last time the British mainland was invaded! This amazing piece of work was created by local needle workers and tells the story in the style of that told by the famous Bayeux Tapestry.

Arts and Crafts in North Pembrokeshire

Visit the Workshop Wales gallery just to the west of Fishguard on the A487.
• There are two historic woollen mills locally. On the north coast, at the little hamlet of Tregwynt, is a traditional woollen mill supplying well known national outlets with their own local designs. Further south in the hamlet of Middle Mill - just a mile up the valley from Solva village - is Solva Woollen mill.  The oldest working woollen mill in Pembrokeshire which has been producing beautiful traditional fabrics since 1907, the mill supplies bespoke floor rugs to the Price of Wales for his Welsh home; this is certainly a mill to visit!
