Out west – Day 4

I was going home today, but Tim had given me one last tip – to check out the nature reserve at Tycanol. “You would be right into it” he said.

I packed up camp, said goodbye to John and drove the few miles to Tycanol.

It was a stunning few miles across open hills and ancient forests with magnificent 360 degree views, with Carn Ingli looking particularly inviting. It looked out of place perched above a seaside town in west Wales – it would have been more at home in Snowdonia. If you are in this part of Wales, add it to your itinery. Just don’t tell too many people about it.

In conclusion

I am totally in love with west Wales and wish I had discovered it years ago. The hills, surrounding countryside and coast are absolutely stunning. The people are friendly and laid back. There is something crazy/stunning/cool/wet/high around every corner.

I’ll be back.
