Our Location

The Preseli Venture lodge is located deep in the heart of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, an awesome location for any adventure holiday in the uk.

The Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, established in 1952, is the UK's only coastal National Park. At 230 square miles it's also one of the UK's smallest National Parks, and it is certainly one of the longest, taking in 180 miles of the Pembrokeshire coastline as well as all of it's offshore islands.

Much of the coastline consists of natural cliffs, broken up by Wales' most beautiful sandy beaches and small picturesque rocky coves.

The Preseli Venture Lodge sits nestled in a green valley, just up from the secluded beach at Abermawr. Our nearest village is Mathry, a small and friendly Welsh village on a hilltop, commanding impressive views of the Preseli Hills.

If you stand on top of the ancient Preseli Hills, source of the "bluestones" of Stonehenge, you will see spread about you one of Britain's most beautiful and magical landscapes. The north Pembrokeshire peninsular thrusts out into the Atlantic Ocean, at the southern end of the Irish Sea, an area thankfully left unspoilt by the ravages of industrial society. The ancient iron-age field enclosures are still remaining, as are the neolithic burial chambers and the bronze-age standing stones. Hedge-rows covered with wildflowers and supporting a rich and diverse wildlife criss-cross the area. A Pilgrim's route, which leads to St. Davids cathedral, drops down from the hills and here you can enter the hidden Gwaun Valley, thick with ancient oak woodland, and maybe pause for a jug of beer, noted for its unusual properties, in Bessie's pub.

Continuing on to the mouth of the Gwaun, it's possible to paddle out of the Bay in a kayak and drift with the tide around Strumble Head lighthouse. Here you'll find places where "wreckers" would bring ships in on the rocks using false lights, to plunder their cargo. This part of the coastline is renowned for its seal colonies, and habitats along the high cliffs where razorbills and guillemots, the rare chough and beautiful peregrine falcon breed. On a lucky day you could even see porpoise and dolphin swimming close in-shore in the clean waters.

Whether it's myth and magic, culture and history, wildlife and natural world, or adventure and party that you're after- the North Pembrokeshire coastline has it all. We hope that you enjoy exploring it with us!
