The people in the hamlets of  Pontfaen and Llanychaer uphold a unique tradition - they  still celebrate New Year's Day on 13th January according to  the old Gregorian calendar! The Gwaun Valley at Pontfaen  The Gwaun Valley  There's a smart picnic site with a pond and toilets at Sychbant or if you carry on up the valley, you come to Cilgwyn where there's a candle centre. Cilrhedyn Woodland Centre, run by the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority, is well worth a visit on its limited open days throughout the holiday season. Accommodation in The Gwaun  Valley itself is limited. There is a  hotel at Gelli Fawr on the  southern side of the valley,  there's a touring caravan site at  Llanychaer towards Fishguard  and there are quite a few self  catering cottages available in the  Gwaun Valley too. The pub at Pontfaen, The Dyffryn Arms, is run by the formidable  Bessie Davies, a real local  character. The pub is a time  capsule of a bygone era. The bar  is the front room of Bessies  house and the beer is served  through a hatch straight from the  barrel. It's well worth a visit for  the experience but don't expect  anything fancy. Beer is all you'll  get.  Microbrewery in Pembrokeshire, Wales Gwaun Valley Brewery is situated in the farmyard at Kilkiffeth Farm, in a redundant granary in one of the most beautiful parts of Pembrokeshire.

Clunderwen, Pembrokeshire SA66 7XJ The Pant Mawr Cheese Farm is situated in the foothills of the Preseli Mountains, and the title picture of the website was taken in the Mountains just a 20 minute walk away from the farm. Pembrokeshire is home to a wide range of scenery from sandy beaches and rugged coastline, tranquil woodland areas and of course the Preseli hills - famous for the Preseli bluestone believed to have been used to build Stone Henge. Pembrokeshire is one of the most popular holiday destinations in the UK. The Pembrokeshire National Park is the only coastal park in the UK. One of the most popular destinations is Tenby, the historic walled town. For those of you who enjoy country scenery and long walks, and the occasional stop for some good food and pint of real ale, the Preseli Hills is a good destination. The Gwaun Valley runs inland from Lower Town Fishguard towards The Preseli Mountains. The Gwaun Valley                               was created by torrents of meltwater from the retreating ice during the last Ice Age to leave a steep sided  verdant valley. There is a considerable expanse of 20th  century coniferous plantation here above  the old quarries at Rosebush. It has been  in private hands and appears to be  neglected. The heap of logs to the left of  the picture seems to have been there for  many years and there is no sign of active  management.Tracks within the plantation  provide circular walking routes.  More details regarding this newly  opened walk can be found at the  following web sites:  Geograph Site  Download PDF Map  Tafarn Sinc is situated in the heart of the Preseli Hills, in the splendour of the Pembrokeshire National  Park.
