What a find this turned out to be. Did two of the three walks & then explored the churchyard adjacent to the car park. It was a pity the church was locked. Particularly enjoyed the waterfall & the Chain Bridge & would love a week’s stay in Pwll Pendre.

Bwlch y Geuffordd Gardens in Bronant is an ideal place to visit . Featured in the last series of “Pobl a’u Gerddi”, and also featured in ITV's Love Your Garden with Alan Titchmarsh, aired March 2020. Joint runner up of Gardeners World “Garden of the Year” competition, category “Challenging Plot”. There is something here for everyone. The garden is open daily, and is an adventure and fantasy garden for children (and adults). It is also a water garden, sculpture park, sumptuous flower garden, and so much more. Although the individual gardens differ widely in character, they still hang together as a delicious whole. It is peaceful, inspiring and colourful, wacky and wonderful, full of surprises, and a great day out for all the family.

I was attending as a visiting speaker. The meeting venue was the Drwm, a 100-seating film and video conference venue within the library where the seating and the AV facilities are second to none. The meeting included refreshments and a voucher for the library's restaurant which features a walk-through buffet of excellent diversity and quality. Although built as a library wherein are deposited virtually every book published, the NLW hosts a series of travelling exhibitions that are well presented and interesting. Having visited many times for historical research as well as organised conferences there has always been a friendly, helpful atmosphere. The first language of the staff is Welsh but all are at least bilingual and extremely helpful. The library is currently engaged in the huge task of digitising all the significant books and documents, making them available to internet subscribers. Oh, and there's a nice little shop! Well worth a visit.

This is a ‘must do’ visit if you’re anywhere near Aberystwyth. It was a Victorian Theatre in its early life but now an excellent museum has been created. We spent Two hours looking around which was interesting and thought provoking. There is an excellent cafe serving morning coffee and lunch time snacks. A truly worthwhile visit if in the area........

Travelling on the Vale of Rheidol Railway is the finest way to see the stunning Rheidol Valley. We pass through wide open fields,woodland and rugged mountain scenery as the line twists and turns clinging to the hillside gradually climbing nearly 700ft (200m)from Aberystwyth to reach our destination at Devil’s Bridge. Birds of prey such as Red Kite and Buzzards are regularly seensoaring high above the valley floor and breathtaking views can beenjoyed by all.

On our way back from a disappointing trip to Aberystwyth we saw the signs and pulled in not knowing what we would find. Well let me just say you will not be disappointed here. The facility offers walking trails, bridleways, mountain biking trails, picnic areas, children's play area, disabled trails, breathtaking views, a gift shop, a cafe, and Red Kite Feeding!!!. For a fee of £1.50 for up to two hours or £3 for over this, you get the most amazing day out. We arrived at 2pm to discover that Red Kite Feeding took place at 3pm (2pm in winter months). We strolled around the lovely lake reading all the interactive information boards finding out facts about Red Kites and looking at the stunning views. Red Kites were flying around overhead clearly awaiting the feeding. We found the viewing area beside the lake and took a seat . The Kites knowing the time appeared from out of the trees vast swaths of them. A chap appeared from the opposite side of the lake and threw out meat. The Kites soared and danced in the air, swooping down in a magical airial display. It was a truly amazing sight. When it was over they flew back to the trees leaving a few to dive and swoop across the lake. We were entranced by the whole experience. Words can't describe it. We then headed to the cafe, which was fantastic. Homemade coffee and walnut cake cut into great wedges, delicious pulled pork crusty rolls and all at such reasonable prices. Plenty of seating inside and out, outside offering amazing views of the lake and wild birds feeding from bird feeders close by. And, lovely clean toilets!!!!! We rated this attraction number one, and came back a second time during our stay in Wales, travelling 50 minutes to do so. A fantastic day out for all ages. Well done to everyone involved, this shows how conservation and tourism can work hand in hand.
