| St Davids, is Britain’s smallest city - a relaxing
and friendly place, set in the centre of the St Davids peninsula. It was
the birthplace of Celtic Christianity in Wales – two pilgrimages
to St Davids were the equivalent of one to Rome. It offers a unique cultural
experience. The historic Cathedral holds regular services, and concerts,
including an International Music Festival at Whitsun. In the summer there
are theatre productions of Shakespeare and children’s plays in the
atmospheric surroundings of the Bishop’s Palace.
Pembrokeshire is renowned for its outdoor activities. It has beautiful
beaches: both safe and sheltered for rock pooling, sandcastle building,
and swimming, and exposed Atlantic surf for, surfing, windsurfing, kite
surfing, kayaking and coasteering. Visitor’s moorings are available
in local harbours, and sheltered slipways allow divers and sea kayakers
to launch. On land, riding, golf, and cycling are available. Walking on
the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path, and bird watching on the nearby RSPB reserves
of Ramsey and Skomer Islands are very popular. Coastal bus services run
in the summer. For children, Oakwood Park and other local attractions
are a magnet in good or bad weather.
Park House is ideally located for families as it is within a stones-throw
of the supermarket, Post Office, and a well equipped children’s
play park. It is close to local beaches: one mile from Caerfai Bay (a
beautiful secluded and safe cove), and two miles from Whitesands Bay (a
long sandy beach renowned for surfing). The house was built in the 19th
century of the same purple Caerfai sandstone used in the Cathedral. It
is cosy and welcoming but has been imaginatively renovated on three levels,
and tastefully furnished. Stone walls have been exposed or painted white
and the floors are stripped boards with rugs. It has a spacious feel,
with areas for entertaining, watching TV, or quiet reading. Full gas-fired
central heating and a multi-fuel stove in the sitting room make it warm
on the coldest days. |
