activities

Marle lies just outside the Pembrokeshire National park . It is surrounded by single track roads, bounded by hedgerows full of flowers, colours , perfumes and critters, ideal for cycling, or bumbling about, there is a small ancient bluebell wood just minutes down the lanes. The enchanted and enchanting Fynone waterfall is just a forty minute walk awy.

 

We look over Frenni Fawr in the foothills of the Preselies,  which stretch for thirteen miles to Dinas Island. Wild horses roam free in the Preselies amongst the bronze age remains and stone circles. The ‘Golden Road’  is a famous but quiet track covering eight miles of the range of hills, excellent walking.

 

Cardigan Bay and the Pembrokeshire coast line lie close by with their stunning coast paths and beaches.

 

Wildlife abounds both at Marle and within Pembrokeshire with its ancient woodlands, historic towns, quiet beaches and hills. There are seals, dolphins porpoises and whales to spot guillemots and puffins to visit  and a host of other wildlife to discover and enjoy.
