West Wales

[Swan Red]

I'm looking for self catering coastal cottages for next years holiday. I've a vague preference for Ceredigion but am looking for somewhere that's close enough to decent places to eat and walk, am happy driving so I don't need loads on the doorstep but a bit that means not having to drive far to get something to eat.

 

Also does it rain lots and if so when does it rain less?

F*ck off with that rain sh*t, we've had an absolutely glorious summer.

 

Come to Pembrokeshire, there's way more to see/do. Plus you can stay at ours, we're 5 minutes from the ferry port for Rosslare.

Oh that sounds like a brilliant idea.

 

The rain was more a reference to our holiday in Cork being a washout this year.

No worries, in truth my cousin in north Pembrokeshire has a saying that goes "If you can see the mountain, it's going to rain. If you can't see the mountain, it's raining."

I'd go South Wales or Snowdonia over West Wales.

The beaches along the coast here are absolutely fantastic Vic.

 

If the move to Singapore doesn't come off then we will have to arrange to meet up either up this way or down in Pembrokeshire

 

We camped on this beach for 3 weeks last summer http://www.discoverceredigion.co.uk/English/where/Coast/beaches/Pages/Tresaith.aspx

 

That site has loads of other beaches Penbryn is stunning.

Where are you Matt? I've been chatting to Sion about this and it looks like the plan is to start in holyhead or pembrokeshire and end in the other doing the coast along the way. If you are still there I'll definitely be meeting up.

We are Llandysul 20/25 mins north of Carmarthen. We are about 20 mins away from the coast. I'll hunt you down like a stalker if we are still in Wales

[Swan Red]

haha yeah you shouldn't have to but I thought Singapore was pretty certain and what took you to Llandysul?

[Senrab_nhoj]

The kids have to get into a local school as I can't afford international schools and it is not part of the package. We have just had confirmation they have been accepted to sit the exams so will be flying out there for a week at the end of Sept. Then it all depends on them (no pressure there)

 

Will DM you about the reasons for the move.

If you want West Wales, I'd set up shop in Solva. It's a great little town. Beaches close by would be Barafundle (sp?) and White Sands. There's fishing charters etc that you can do and if you have little kids, they'll love the crab fishing at the jetty.

 

The Gower isn't really West Wales but it is gorgeous. Port Eynon, Langland and Caswell are all lovely beaches there. The Mumbles may be my favourite place in the world to be on a sunny day.

Barafundle is at least an hour's drive from Solva.

Like I said, close by.

[cymrococh]

Like I said, close by.

An hour's drive past approx. 25 other beaches, in summer traffic.
