Welsh Coast and Country Cottages |
|
| The Preselis are not a mountain range, rather a collection of gentle rolling hills. That is not to say that they are not spectacular in their own way - the views of the coastline and the vistas are impressive - but it is their intimacy with the little villages that nestle amongst their folds that makes them so different. | ||

A particular favourite of my family is Rosebush, where we generally end up at the Old Post Office Restaurant or Tafarn Zinc (corugated sheeting! see picture) Afterwards we tend to walk it off on the climb to Cerrig Lladron (magnificent views of Pembrokeshire) or visit the Country Park at Llys y Fran and attempt part of the seven mile walk around its perimeter.
Not far from Rosebush, however, is a unique thatched cottage - the last one built overnight, Ty Unos - built on land claimed "as far as a stone can be thrown". A practice that the present day County Council planning department, I feel, would not approve of!
Of greater interest to families is that it has an excellent children's playground, several picnic tables, a Tea Room and one of the only public toilets beteen the Preselis & Haverfordwest!
Moorland Gardens at Brynberian are open during the Summer. If you are interested in pre-history, there a lot of stone circles in the Preselis and a dramatically sited neolithic burial chamber at Pentre Ifan and a complete reconstructed Iron Age village at Castell Henllys
