The Pembrokeshire Coast boasts some of the most spectacular scenery in all of Britain, it's a wildlife lovers paradise and you may be lucky enough to spot seals, dolphins, and even whales basking in the warm summer seas. Pembrokeshire offers a peaceful, relaxed atmosphere that makes for the perfect getaway, pack your bags and discover why this coastal paradise is one of the best-kept secrets of Wales! This tour takes in the colourful coastal towns of Tenby and Aberaeron and the unique mini city of St. Davids.

Monday
After being collected from home, get comfy in your reserved, executive class seat as you make your way through Wales to the Pembrokeshire coast. Check in to your 3* hotel with tea/coffee awaiting on arrival, before dinner this evening.
Tuesday
Britain’s smallest city, St Davids, owes its status to the 12th century purple sandstone cathedral which dominates the tranquil vale in which it sits. Spend time in this quaint, character-full place surrounded by National Park scenery. Continue to Pembrokeshire’s finest stately home – Picton Castle. The ancient building has roots as a medieval castle, transformed into an 18th century home for the elite. The surrounding gardens boast one of the best plant collections in Wales including an enchanting Walled Garden and an exotic Jungle Garden.
Wednesday
Discover how a picturesque Welsh valley village became the centre of Wales’ global wool industry at The National Wool Museum. Try your hand at carding, spinning and sewing as you follow the process from fleece to fabric inside restored listed mill buildings. Continue to the Ceredigion coast to spend time amongst the charming, colourful houses that fill the little town of Aberaeron. Perhaps treat yourself to ice cream whilst enjoying views across the harbour. Finish the day at Llanerchaeron, an elegant Georgian mansion, remarkably unaltered for over 200 years and set within the beautiful Aeron Valley. Compare the classical details of the villa to the servants’ quarters, discover a curious antique collection and wander in the Walled Garden.
Thursday
Enjoy a scenic drive through the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park to spend time at leisure in the picture-perfect seaside town of Tenby. Soft sandy beaches, crystal clear waters, a quaint fishing harbour and pastel-coloured Victorian houses give Tenby an old-world charm that’s hard to match. Add to that a friendly local vibe and tempting local shops and cafés and you have a perfect summers’ day by the sea. You’ll find some interesting collections in Tenby Museum and Art Gallery (adm. From £5pp) including works by Gwen and Augustus John and Roman discoveries.
