\"Falcondale<\/a><\/p>\n

Spring into summer at the fabulous Falcondale in beautiful west Wales. This stunning Italianate mansion is looking especially lovely now that its 14 acres of gardens are in full flower.<\/p>\n

Book a break today, and enjoy the blooms while sipping a glass of wine on the hotel terrace, followed by an outstanding meal in the hotel\u2019s award-winning restaurant.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s more, there\u2019s so much to do on the doorstep with unspoilt beaches, lush valleys, woodland and wild upland to explore.<\/p>\n

Walking:
\nThis is a walkers\u2019 paradise with so much wonderful countryside to explore. The great thing about this lovely corner of Wales is that it is relatively undiscovered, so you can avoid the crowds.\u00a0 The Falcondale can supply a map, and a drying room, to ensure that you are warm and dry every time you step outside the door.<\/p>\n

Nature:
\nCardigan Bay has been declared a \u2018special area of conservation\u2019 and it\u2019s the ideal place to spot dolphins and porpoises, as well as seals.\u00a0 Inland, the striking bird of prey, the Red Kite, has made a wonderful recovery thanks to dedicated conservationists.\u00a0 It\u2019s easy to spot soaring in the sky, alternatively, you can see it up close and personal at two nearby kite feeding centres.<\/p>\n

And, a must for fishermen and women, the Teifi river offers world class fly fishing.<\/p>\n

Gardens<\/strong>:
\nStunning local gardens include the famed National Botanic Garden of Wales, Cae Hir, which featured on our TV screens recently, and the lovely\u00a0 TyGlyn Davis Trust gardens set among mature woodland on the banks of the river Aeron.<\/p>\n

Wild, Welsh and woolly<\/strong>:
\nFans of quilts and quilting should make a pilgrimage to the world-famous Jen Jones Quilt Centre in Lampeter showing fabulous quilt collections from far and wide.\u00a0 Without the humble sheep, there would be no wool, take a look at where so many of our prized garments started life at the National Woollen Museum near Llandysul.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
