Parc Maerdy Glamping Holidays

Once you’ve become acquainted with the wildlife on site, seek out more of the locals by heading up to Cwmtydu (15 minutes’ drive), where you’ll often spot seals hanging around on the shore. Desperate to see dolphins? You’ve got a good chance of coming across a pod or two on a boat trip from New Quay (15 minutes). Beaches (plural) should surely feature on any west Wales break, so set out to the sands of Aberporth, Tresaith and Penbryn – all are within a 15-minute drive, and the coastal path links them together if you fancy taking in all three in one go. Llangrannog (10 minutes) has a fine beach too, along with plenty of activity in the form of horse riding, go-karting, a climbing wall and a ski centre. Castles are another can’t-miss around here: both Cardigan and Newcastle Emlyn (each 20 minutes) have fine examples to visit. Llanerchaeron (also 20 minutes), while not actually a castle, makes for another fine visit if you’ve an eye for 18th-century elegance. Golf clubs ready to see some action? There’s a particularly challenging nine-hole course to test your skills on five minutes away.
