District - North West Hadrian's Wall North Pennine Dales Northumberland West Highlands of Scotland Isle of Skye North West Highlands of Scotland Pembrokeshire, the 'Land's End' of Wales, boasts some of the most spectacular cliff scenery in Britain. This wild and remote coastline is a haven for wildlife. In spring and summer gorse and wildflowers carpet the clifftops in a dazzling array of colours. Seals are common and we may even spot dolphins and porpoises playing amongst the waves. There are huge colonies of seabirds, and in early summer the cliff ledges, stacks and islands are covered with clamouring chicks and frantic parents.
Autumn finds the heather in bloom and seal pups with their mothers in secluded coves.
We walk the finest sections of the coast path, each offering something different. Our walks take us past pretty fishing villages, burial chambers, stone circles, promontory forts, chapels and shrines left by early traders, raiders, settlers and saints. Inland the scenery is just as beautiful and we have a choice of walking in the lonely Preseli Hills, the source of the bluestones used to create Stonehenge, or exploring the ancient woodlands of the beautiful Gwaun Valley. We stay at the Old Cross Hotel, a beautiful old hotel facing the Old Market Square in the centre of the cathedral 'City' of St. Davids. The Old Cross provides a high standard of comfort, a relaxing atmosphere and fine food.
