The best things to do on a wet day

A wet day in the Valley
Into every life, a little rain must fall

The sun normally shines on Godremamog Mill – Dale in Pembrokeshire is the 4th sunniest place in the UK, so the Valley must come close! but, even here, a little rain must fall !  If it is wet, we hope that you can find lots to do in and around the Valley itself.  There are books and DVDs in the apartments.

You can still enjoy the gardens on a wet day – up at the Mill, there is the summerhouse and BBQ hut while you enjoy an alfresco cuppa.  But why not hit the hot tub?  – you’re going to wet anyway!

Out and About – There are plenty of places to visit, even when it’s wet.  Some suggestions include:

  • https://adveturebeyond.co.uk – Adventure Beyond – local outdoor pursuits including kayaking, climbing, coasteering, bush craft, surfing and rafting.
  • https://museum.wales/wool/ – National Woollen Museum at Drefach Felindre 20 minutes drive from the mill.  (free and very interesting if you want to know more about how Godremamog Mill would have been in 1885, wonderful for children, plus they do a mean welsh rarebit).

You may want to go shopping.  The new shopping centre at Carmarthen is good and there is an indoor market there.  Café Nero and Costa Coffee are fun for people watching.  There are lots of lovely shops in the towns and villages around the mill.  Newcastle Emlyn has plenty to offer. The tea shops in Newcastle Emlyn are all very cosy.  Narberth is particularly nice for art galleries and boutiques.

If you would prefer beer to tea, most of the pubs around here are very welcoming.  The Nags Head at Abercych or the Three Horse Shoes and White Hart in neighbouring Cenarth.  

You may just want to go to the pictures.  There is a multiplex at Carmarthen and a cosy picture house (and theatre) in Cardigan – Theatre Mwldan.   http://www.mwldan.co.uk – Theatre Mwldan – Cardigan’s cinema & theatre  www.myvue.com/home/cinema/carmarthen – Carmarthen’s cinema
