Swallow Tree Gardens

The Swallow Tree to Tenby coast path walk ☺️

A favourite amongst our family and team, a ritual for many of our regular guests and a “bloody shock” for many doing it for the first time! 😂

This walk is like squeezing the essence of the whole Pembrokeshire coast path into a single glorious 3 mile stretch. Spectacular vistas, industrial heritage, plenty of wildlife, peeks of idyllic coves… and uphill steps. So, so many uphill steps! And of course it ends in the wonderful Tenby, with an ice-cream or a cheeky drink to reward yourself for the effort made.

Rain or shine, this is a Swallow Tree stay bucket list item. It’s not easy and access isn’t possible for everyone, but for those who kit up and can venture out onto the path, it really does make up for the sweat and achy legs!

One of the perks of early morning pool maintenance…

Catching the sunrise over the sea through the patio doors. Not a bad way to start the day!

A beautiful tribute held on Saundersfoot beach this morning, remembering the 144 lives lost in the Aberfan disaster 60 years ago today.

❤️ Saundersfoot held a very moving remembrance on the main beach this morning.

The Chair of Love Saundersfoot Phil Baker said a few words to the assembled groups, residents, and visitors. Saundersfoots Côr y Môr performed a very moving Calon Lân and led the group in the Welsh National Anthem.

"On 21 October 1966,
144 people – 116 of them children – tragically lost their lives when a spoil tip slid down the mountain, engulfing Pantglas Primary School and some of the surrounding houses.

Many of us may have personal or family memories of that day.

As a 9 year old, I lived only six miles up the same Valley in Merthyr Tydfil.

My Granddad and Dad both left the Town Hall and went to help dig that day.

My Mum helped in the temporary mortuary set up in a local chapel.

None of them ever spoke much about those few days.

Aberfan is a similar size to Saundersfoot.

It is unbearable to think that 116 children went to school that morning but didn't come home."

Tenby’s quieter neighbouring beach 💙

Looking across Penally Beach towards Tenby from Giltar Point, you get a different perspective on this familiar stretch of the Pembrokeshire coastline.

At low tide, Penally Beach joins up with Tenby South Beach, creating one long stretch of sand between the two.

You can reach the beach via the footpath from Penally railway station, crossing the golf course and heading through the dunes. There's also a viewpoint along the way, looking out across the beach towards Tenby and St Catherine's Island.

It's worth checking the tide times before you go, and be aware that access routes can be affected by military range closures.
