Welsh Wildlife Centre

Nestled deep in the Ffynnone woods is a beautiful clearing and impressive waterfall. You can swim in it and have picnics. It is a lovely place and only 5 mins drive to the carpark and then a short walk. According to the Mabinogi (legendary Welsh stories compiled in the middle ages), Ffynone Waterfall is the gateway to Annwfn, an underworld that lies much deeper than our own.
It is said that Pwyll, King of Dyfed, swapped places with Arawn, King of Annwfn (the underworld) for a year and a day using the portal at Ffynone Waterfall. what 3 words location ///mixer. short. acrobats

The bare bones of a burial chamber (debatable) that would originally have been covered with an earthen mound. The giant 16½ft/5m ‘capstone’ appears to be precariously balanced on three ‘uprights’, though it has remained in place for over 5,000 years.
Pentre Ifan’s sense of mystery is heightened by its surroundings and backdrop. Its outline neatly frames the Preseli Hills towering above, source of the famous Pembrokeshire ‘bluestones’ that went into the making of Stonehenge as well as Pentre Ifan itself.

OW Camp 70; as it was known during WW2, housed over 1,200 Italians during the war. The Italians had no place of worship and so they gave up one of their “huts” and converted it to a Catholic church. This hut STILL stands to this day. Incredible! You will need to contact the site to arrange a visit, but it is so worth it.

Tresaith Waterfall
Its only a very short walk to reach this spot. From the outside, you would never expect to find such a gem hidden at the centre of Rosebush quarry. Surrounded by rock and slate, the small freshwater lake is a calming and tranquil place. The translucent emerald green water is perfect for a swim but be warned, its pretty cold!
Walk time 10 mins Drive from fforest 20 mins /Manorafon 35mins Start at Tafarn sinc in Rosebush follow track for about 500m the quarry is nestled among the mounds to your right. Notes The quarry is equally as beautiful in rain or shine but visit on a warm sunny day and you will experience some truly magical scenery

Nevern Chuchyard to see Celtic crosses, Ogham writing and the famous bleeding yew tree. Various legends exist; some say it bleeds for the wrongful hanging of a young man many years ago, others say it will bleed until there is a Welsh prince on the seat at Nevern Castle and another legend says it will bleed until the world is at peace.

The ideal spot for a drink after a walk through the Teifi Marshes Reserve or for an after-dinner pint. Expect hot sausage rolls too, but be quick to snap these up! Great atmosphere.

A short walk from Manorafon/ Penbryn, this spectacular coastal walk will bring you to Llangrannog eventually, but stop off half way and you will arrive at one of the most beautiful secluded beaches we know, 'Traeth Bach' (Little Beach), known to the locals as the secret beach. Its a difficult scamble down, but well worth it.
