Plenty to do...

When Spring begins come March  the woodlands and countryside awaken after their winter slumber, Snowdrops and Primroses bursting into bloom followed by carpets of Bluebells as far as the eye can see. As nature takes us through her seasons, there will be an abundance of wild fruits Bilberries, Strawberries and Blackberries, there will aslo be a delight of birdsongs to enjoy from cuckoos, skylarks and adorable garden birds, and in the sky a wonderful display of aerial acrobatics put on by the Red Kites and Buzzards, not to mention the little swallow.

The Cambrian Coast has miles of award winning Golden beaches to enjoy, with plenty of safe havens for swimming or just relaxing and soaking up the sun. For the more adventurous, there is crabbing or fishing at  the water edge or boat trips out to the Bay to catch Lobsters, Crabs, Bass and other deep water fish, and if lucky  you might also catch a glimpse of swimming Dolphins, Porpoises or Harbour Seals.

Time could be alternated between mountains and sea, a leisurely walk along our coastal path embracing its stunning views,  coarse fishing along the local Artro River ( permits available in local shop ), or  the lakes of Erddyn or Bodlyn.  A trip up to Cwm Bychan ( meaning little valley ) meandering  along the famous Roman Steps, or enjoy a picnic by the streams and their many pools and waterfalls, and in the evening Cwm Bychan lake on a moonlit night, is both beautiful and romantic , the  waves lapping against the shore and  the silence only being broken by the occasional hoot of an owl or the call of a Nightjar.
