A Pembrokeshire Easter- part 3

On our last day in Pembrokeshire, the sun reappeared and we were beyond excited to visit Skomer Island and see some puffins on the nature reserve. The drive took longer than expected and in the end we were speeding towards our destination to make it on time! We made it in the nick of time to find out that the boats weren't going to the island that day because of an impending 12 foot swell. The weather looked great so we were gutted to not be able to go, I was really looking forward to seeing puffins! But we had a beautiful day nonetheless. 

After we found out there were no boats we headed to a beach called Marloes sands for lunch. It was a beautiful beach with interesting rock formations that Lina reckons looked like sideways lasagne :) the sun came out to greet us and we hand a mini hike back along the top of the cliffs back to the car. 

After we left the beach we had t make a pit stop so Lina could take pictures in one of the many bright yellow rapeseed fields.

We then headed to Stackpole gardens, a historic gardens managed by a local disability charity, Mencap. They grow their vegetables and sell them in the shop on site. There was also a beautiful wooded area which was the site of the historical gardens. 

After the gardens we said our goodbyes to the beautiful Pembrokeshire and headed back to Cardiff. We were pretty lucky with the weather and had two sunny days of a bank holiday weekend, highly unusual! :) and are blessed with good friends who will drive us around to see all of this beauty! Hope to return soon and get to see some puffins as well! :)
