Tenby / Colby Woodland Garden / Narberth – 30.+31.8.2023

The view of the castle in Manorbier was perfect 🙂

Before we left we had a look at the church. I’ve never seen such an interesting interior in a church!

Coffee and bisquits were on offer, and the loo seemed to be in a former confesstional box 😉

We didn’t serve ourselves, but left a good tip. Our next destination was Tenby.

Parking was difficult because a lot of the town was blocked, the reason being the „Ironman Wales“ on September 3rd. Luckily we found a spot, so that we could have a stroll through town.

Tenby is famous for its colourful houses and the beaches.

North beach.

Castle Beach.

South Beach.

There is a market hall.

It’s a colourful town with plenty of tourists.

Some of the old town castle walls have survived.

What to do with old shoes 😉

Our next destination was Colby Woodland Garden near Amroth. We wanted to walk each of the paths 😉

There is also a walled garden …

… and a nice café 🙂

The big open space was used to play bow and arrow.

We spent quite some time in the woodland part of the garden.

Many carved benches lined the paths.

Lots of interesting trees and plants.

A little stream runs through the valley.

It was a very peaceful garden.

That evening we drove to Narberth. My in-laws lived there at one time, and I wanted to show Kurt the village.

It was a very dreary and bleak day. The colourful houses still looked good 🙂

The house where my in-laws lived is now called Fire & Ice. The current owner was very friendly and showed me around 🙂

My father-in-law’s favourite pub was „The Angel“.

There are a few antique shops in Narberth. We went to some of them, looking for thimbles.

We then left that region of Wales, heading towards Gower. Somehwere along the way (in Cross Hands) we stopped to do some washing.

On the peninsula Gower we wanted to eat and stay the night at „The Oxwich Bay“, but we could only have done that if we were members of Britstops (which we are not…). So we went on to the „Britannia Inn“.
