Have you explored Wales recently? You may find much more than what you first expected.
Cardigan Bay has been declared a special area of conservation; while the bottlenose dolphins may steal the limelight, we must not forget the other fascinating wildlife and habitats. Along this coastline you will find a multitude of small villages and coves to explore, walk and admire. These may include Aberaeron, New Quay, Llangrannog and Mwnt all within easy reach of Falcondale Mansion.
For those wishing for some culture visit the National Woollen Museum near Llandysul, only 40 minutes away. With free entry you can enhance your knowledge of the woollen trade that was a source of major industry within this area. Or how about a visit to the Heart of Welsh Culture at the National Library of Wales in Aberystwyth?
Walkers (and their dogs) have a plethora of options available, visit our walkers and ramblers page for more details. Included in this package you will receive an OS Explorer map for Lampeter and surrounding area, therefore you can spend hours exploring the wonders within this largely undiscovered part of Wales.
The National Trust has several properties in Wales the closest being Llanerchaeron, only 20 minutes away towards Ciliau Aeron. Pan for gold at Dolaucothi Gold mines, visit Dinefwr park and castle or see a striking 13th century ruined castle in Cilgerran.
