South Glamorgan is a preserved county of Wales that was originally formed in as a county council area and was abolished in 1996. South Glamorgan continues in existence as a preserved county for purposes such as lieutenancy, and as such includes those communities.September 2011
Mid Glamorgan is a preserved county (current areas used in Wales for ceremonial purposes), from 1974 until 1996, it was also an administrative county, with a county council. Mid Glamorgan and its component districts were abolished in 1996 and the area split.September 2011
The Vale of Glamorgan is a rich agricultural area; that lies in the most southerly part of Wales. At the heart of the county is a 14-mile stretch of protected coastline which was awarded Heritage Coast status in 1972 and includes secluded coves, interesting wildlife, exhilarating walks and backed by cliffs and rolling countryside.September 2011
Bangor is a small university town lying on the banks of Menai Strait. There are several things you might want to visit (like the St Deiniol Cathedral or Penrhyn Castle), but my personal favourite is the famous Garth Pier which reaches out deep in the Menai Streit towards Anglesey. The pier was built in 1890s and reconstructed in the late 1980s. Take a stroll down the pier, grab a cup of tea or coffee at one of the oriental kiosks, and enjoy the stunning views in all directions.
Worm's Head stretches out to sea near Rhossili, and becomes an island when the tide comes in. If you're planning to walk to the tip of the 'dragon' along the rocky causeway, check the tide times with Coastguard before setting out! We weren't that lucky to walk to the tip as the high tide was coming so we spent a couple of hours walking along the steep cliffs to the Fall Bay, Mewslade Bay and Thurba Head before heading back to Rhossili through a small village Pitton.The coast is spectacular and not to be missed!
A tiny medieval (12th century) chapel hidden in the rocks near St Govan's Head. According to a legend, St Govan was known as Gawain, one of Arthur's most bravest knights, who spent his life here after the death of Arthur.It’s accessible by climbing down the stone steps (legend says that nobody can count the steps accurately and that the number is never the same when you go up and down).
St Govan's Head is the most southern part of Pembrokeshire. The easiest way to access St Govan's Head is from the parking area located in MOD range (open to the public only on non-firing periods, so check at the entrances to the range - when a red flag flies above the area is closed to the public). But if you really want to enjoy, start your walk at Broadhaven (Trevallen Gates to MOD range, near Bosherston), and enjoy the views to the coast renowned as the most wild and beautiful in Pembrokeshire. Follow the path to the St Govan’s Head, and continue along the cliff edge to the St Govan's Chapel.
A magical place to visit in the late spring or summer, when lilies are in flower. The lily ponds were man made in the 19th century as a part of the Stackpole Estate. It is now a protected nature reserve where you can spot water birds, otters, fish, dragonflies, etc. Some believe that it is a home of the Lady of the Lake from where King Arthur obtained his magical sword, Excalibur.
One of the most stunning beaches, and very popular with surfers. I didn't try to get into water as it was too cold for me, but i enjoyed walking along it (it's 3 miles long). It's difficult to say when is the best time to visit it as it's equally stunning in the morning and later during the day. Not to mention the sunsets... wow!
