in South Wales - part 1.
Last week we spent some time away, staying in a holiday cottage,
overlooking Dunraven Bay .
The land in the distance is probably the coast of North Devon.
Beautiful beach for walks,
and exploring.
There in the woods, behind the cliffs, are the remains of Dunraven Castle;
today there are only small remains of walls, but the walled garden is still maintained.
Despite the very bad weather forecast for the whole week, we had some dry, but dull days, which enabled us to explore (not so great for taking pictures);
we visited the small market town of Cowbridge,
where just behind the busy High Street you can find small oasis -
Physic Garden, full of medicinal plants.
Not far from Cardiff is a property owned by the National Trust -
Unfortunately the house is closed for repairs,
but we spent lots of time wondering around the gardens,
enjoyed lunch in the restaurant, and spent some money in the second hand book shop.
That looks like a fun and relaxing week away. Great photos and thank you for sharing.
