Enjoy one of the loveliest stretches of the cragged Welsh coast, passing the blue lagoon and attractive fishing villages unchanged by time. A highlight is our visit to see traditional Irish wool weavers at Melin Tregwynt, a whitewashed wool mill tucked in a remote wooded valley. There has been a wool mill on this spot since the 1600s. From here, we continue to our hotel.

Walk in the Preseli Hills today; wild rolling moors roamed by sheep and ponies, and home to ancient myths. The bluestones at Stonehenge were quarried here. Not too far away is Nevern Church, with its famous 10th‐century cross and 600‐year‐old bleeding yew. A bit further, we’ll find Pentre Ifan, one of the finest megalithic sites in Britain, dating from 3500 BC. Returning to our hotel, with the opportunity to hear excerpts of some of the literary works inspired by the area.
