Robin came to stay on our activity weekend break in Wales and she made this little film about it - sweet! Libby looks cute, Steve does lots of striding on the beach, and everyone looks very happy. Sea kayaking at Abercastle, some surfing at Newgale, some sheepy shots from the coastpath plus lots of hot chocolate drinking in the lodge. Thanks Robin :)
You want Adventure?
Jump from towering rocks
into an ocean swell, traverse rugged sea cliffs above foaming
water and kayak through sun-dappled caves.
Escape from the hassles
of the city as you adventure, chill out and relax in one of the UK's
most unspoilt wilderness areas.
We've been entertaining American
and overseas students for over 20 years and we've been told we're good
at it; each year over 700 study abroad students visit us for what
they routinely tell us was their best weekend in the UK!

adventures, look no further! Preseli Venture has the perfect combination
of excitement and adrenalin with the space to party and chill-out
in beautiful ocean scenery. Relax and escape from the hassles
of the city and the usual tourist trail.
We have no boring bus trips, no over-crowded cities, no disappointments,
just spectacular beautiful beaches, clean Atlantic ocean swells,
and Preseli Venture adventure guides and hospitality staff that care about showing you a great time
on this amazing coastline.
Choose from our mouth watering menu
of adventure activities:
COASTEERING
Climb, swim and cliff jump into a whole new world. More thrilling
than white water rafting, sea caves and swirling ocean
swells combine to produce a truly wild environment, but watch
out - it's addictive!
SEA KAYAKING
We'll teach you everything you need to know about kayaking to
take a trip round the stunning coastline. Kayak surf between rocks,
paddle against the swirling ocean swells and say 'hi' to the seals.
SURFING
The art and science of riding ocean swells. With a little luck
and some help from our talented instructors you'll be up and standing
in no time at all.
HIKINGWe've
got the National Park trail on the very Western tip of Europe
right on our doorstep. Unwind amongst dramatic scenery, walk the
stunning cliff top trails, and chill out amongst the wild flowers, it's the perfect accompaniment to the adrenalin charged adventures.

You will stay at our
Preseli Venture Eco Lodge, set right in the heart of the National
Park, close to our local unspoilt beach. The lodge provides for
all your creature comforts during your stay; delicious, wholesome,
home-cooked food, private bar and music, cosy lounge with wood-burning
stoves, awesome music system, pool table, traditional Pembrokeshire courtyard to watch the beautiful
