Why West Wales ?
Having made the move myself to Pembrokeshire almost a decade ago, the virtues of West Wales living have been numerous. A love affair with the area began as a child with holidays spent in Saundersfoot and then, as an adult, trips to St David’s and beyond where my desire to live here was cemented.
The county is home to the only coastal National Park, so for outdoor activities, water based hobbies, dark sky gazing, quieter towns and tiny villages it really does offer so many options for the relocating individual. Property is relatively competitively priced compared to many UK areas, with options for traditional stone cottages, smallholdings or contemporary and individually designed homes. Traffic jams here tend to be sheep-related rather than the queues of commuters found in a previous life !
West Wales is often described as being rich in myths and history; we have islands, castles, historical sites, unique geology and ancient woodland. A special warmth and welcome is felt through the emerging sense of “Hiraeth” that develops as you build a life here. That sense of longing for it when you leave, and the happiness you feel as you return to the place you call Home.
Pembrokeshire
Surrounded by deep blue waters and with 186 miles of coastal path, combined with the rolling Preseli Mountains, the county offers wide ranging options for lifestyle. The south of the county has Tenby, Saundersfoot, thriving Narberth town, Dale peninsula and much more. The more rugged north provides drama and options for more remote property choices, along with the UK’s smallest city St David’s, Solva and its beautiful outlying areas. Good schooling options across the county exist, including those in the Welsh medium.


Carmarthenshire
Centered on the county town of Carmarthen, its borders with Pembrokeshire offer many property opportunities along with enhanced access to train and road links. Small yet thriving communities nestle in the rolling hills above Whitland and St Clears with a variety of options available for smallholding and farm living. Or find your perfect setting along the Taf valley with estuary villages such as Laugharne and LLansteffan being popular homesearch locations.
Ceredigion
The county ranges from the Cardigan Bay coast to the Cambrian Mountains and prides itself on rich Welsh language culture. The University town of Aberystwyth and thriving Cardigan offer a range of amenities along with numerous villages nestling along the valleys of the Teifi and Rheidol. Property options for smallholders, tourism businesses and multigenerational living can all be found here, often with land if required and all with the beautiful rural surroundings the county is known for.
