Local area

Situated as it is near the boundaries of the three
counties of Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion & Pembrokeshire, the farm provides a perfect base from which to discover the glories of the ancient kingdom of Dyfed.

The attractive small towns of Cardigan, Newcastle Emlyn, Lampeter & Narberth are worth visiting with their diverse range of shops, eating places & galleries & studios of local artists & craftspeople.

Cardigan Bay with its superb beaches, is designated a Special Area of Conservation. The Bay supports a population of some 130 bottlenose dolphins, and porpoises as well as grey seals are frequently seen close to shore. The area is also part of the Ceredigion Heritage Coast of Cardigan Bay.

There are many old churches, superb castles and countless sites of pre-historic and historic interest, including the tiny cathedral city of St David's, the historic gardens of Aberglasney & the National Botanic Garden of Wales.

 It is a fine area for walking and bird-watching. The Pembrokeshire & Ceredigion Coastal Paths are only half an hour away & the Berwyn & Cambrian Mountains are within easy reach for good walking in the hills.
