While You're Here

In the Surrounding Area 

Whatever you want to get from your holiday – from relaxing on a deserted beach; to walking in hills, the countryside, or along the stunning coastline; or pumping the adrenalin learning the various coasteering skills – you’re in the right place.

The choices are endless:

• Newport village The nearest location for shops including a baker, butcher, fishmonger. It also has a post office with cash machine, a small Spar supermarket and a deli shop selling a range of local foods. It has excellent restaurants and public houses. It has a Tourist Information Centre and a local market on a Mondays.
• Historic Towns and Villages: As well as Newport we would recommend Fishguard, Cardigan, Narberth, Porthgain, St Davids and Solva provide quaint, ‘oldy worldy’ experiences for you to savour. None are too far away.
• Great Pubs and Restaurants: Newport is small but boasts excellent restaurants and if its fish you want, try Porthgain. You’ll not be disappointed.
• Local Brands and Crafts: There are local farm shops and a local markets, a cheese ‘factory’ or two, excellent local micro breweries, a woollen mill, a pottery and much more to choose from.
• Ancient Monuments: Pembrokeshire is steeped in history. From the ancient megalith builders and bluestones of Stonehenge to the Last Invasion of Britain – it all happened here!
• Family Adventures: Seal and dolphin watching, beach horse riding, diving charters, boat trips around the islands or a round of golf: again its near here.
• Coasteering: If rock-hopping, swell-riding, cave-exploring or cliff-jumping and sea kayaking are more for you, its here.

Local Walks From the Cottage

If exploring on foot is your bag, you’re definitely in the right place!

Because your cottage is in the middle of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, we are surrounded by beautiful countryside and can boast immediate access to views of the Gwaun Valley; the Carningli ridgeline; and the Preseli Hills themselves.

Only a mile away as the crow flies, and four miles by road, you’ll find easy access to the famous Pembrokeshire coastal path – 187 miles of the most beautiful coastline in Wales and its all open and free to access.

If you want to stay local and explore then follow the link below and have a look at the Walks from the Doorstep.

Guided Walks or Tours

Not everyone wants to organise their own planning and exploring so why not let us take the strain and we will guide you on a themed walk or a driven tour to suit your interests

After 11 years of conducting guided walks and tours we know North Pembrokeshire and we can build a perfect half or full day for you to enjoy.

Typical themes might be:

• Ancient megaliths and Celtic hillforts and Arthurian legends.
• The coastal path and its stunning geology.
• Contemporary industrial history such as slate mines and the Maenclochog railway.
• The Norman invasion and the Age of the Celtic Saints.
• The last invasion of Britain!
• Woodland walks
• The Preseli Hills
• In and around Fishguard, or Newport or Nevern

Or you might want a taster of everything – no problem, we will choose the best bits and coble them together for you.

A Note on the Welsh Culture

The Welsh Brand is personified in the Welsh people themselves. They are unassuming and gently spoken, deeply caring of their own and very welcoming of all who visit them. And they have an infectious passion for, and pride in, their heritage, culture and all that is special about Pembrokeshire and West Wales.

You will see all of these endearing aspects if/when you meet the farmers who work the land around Tregynon Cottages. From local cheese and jam producers, through to the local brewers, shop and tavern owners you will be greeted with genuine warmth.

To hear them talking their native language, or better still having the privilege of hearing them sing their hymns and arias is an experience which will live with you for a long time.

This is Celtic country: so why not visit the many ancient sites redolent of myth and legend. The Stonehenge bluestones came from here: everywhere you will sense the presence of the Neolithic megalith builders, the cairns and stone circles of the Bronze Age and mighty Iron Age hillforts. There are dragons and fairies in those hills!!

We would encourage you to take every opportunity to experience the Welsh brand. And be enriched, enlivened, and uplifted by that experience. Invariably, the effects are lasting.

Can you really say you know Wales and the Welsh unless you’ve experienced up close the pride of this land of legend?
