Larkhill Tipis and Yurts

Wales is well known as a land full of sheep (three woolly ones to every person at last count…), so it’s hardly a surprise to find that the wool business is an important one for the local area. Celebrating it all is the National Wool Museum in a restored mill 10 minutes’ drive away; if you’re heading up there to play with the interactive displays (or buy some of those gorgeously soft blankets), the start point for the Teifi Valley Railway is nearby There are also horse-riding activities on the nearby Llanllwni Mountain (around 20 minutes) Sheep aren’t the only creatures you might spot around these parts though: Folly Farm Adventure Park and Zoo (50 minutes away) is home to all sorts of exotic beasts, and boat trips from New Quay (half an hour away) sail to a patch of sea that’s a fave for dolphins and porpoises. While you’re over that way, a detour to the sands of Aberporth or Llangrannog beaches is always a fine prospect. And on top of all that… how about canoeing on the River Teifi from Llechryd (25 minutes), a visit to the ruins of Cilgerran Castle (half an hour) or pottering through the lush National Botanic Garden of Wales (40 minutes)...?
