When we booked we did not realise how central it was - just under the castle. However, the area was surprisingly peaceful at night.

I'm recommending it to all my friends.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20391 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19227 In addition, it’s a funky and fun place – I especially enjoyed the random art covering the walls!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19227 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18961 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18961 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18638 Built to protect from invaders it became a royal residence in 1920.

Take your time and enjoy the view of the castle; it sits high on top of a tall rock, overlooking the picturesque village. Inside you can have a look at a rich collection of Romanian and foreign furniture and art items from the 14th-19th centuries.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18638 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18625 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18625 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18367 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18367 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18292
As you walk around you come to the point which is a rather large open space where, on a sunny day, you are able to get ice cream from the many vans, there are picnic tables and an old ruined castle called Little Dennis, which used to be a gun tower for Pendennis Castle which is on entry to the point.

There are stunning views of the whole of the seafront from the point and plenty of hidden little beaches below.

As you walk right around, there is an area which is a popular site for diving and yet more benches and picnic areas.

As you come to the end, you have a lovely long walk all the way down over the seafront which has stunning views over the sea, of Pendennis Castle and the golden sandy beaches.

I live here and I am never bored of the views.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18292 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18195 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18195 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17612
A 10 minute walk from the centre of town, the Ice Castle is right next to the water's edge. Tuck-up before you go, remember you'll be surrounded by walls of ice!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17612 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17499
You can explore both inside and out, and then take a run along the coastal path and a peek among the rockpools down on the little beach. A perfect day out for both boys and girls! Also a good spot for budding photographers too - you can't fail to take a great pic here.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17499 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17344
Other interests are the birdwatching which is extraordinary all over the Sierra de Montanchez and the many different plants and herbs among the cork and holm oak woods. The walk takes two hours and ends at the Moorish castle of Montánchez.

I stayed at the delightful farmhouse,
Finca al-manzil which I found on this site, a perfect base for exploration of the surrounding area and historical towns of Caceres, Trujillo and Merida and Montánchez.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17344 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14307 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14307 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13846
The buildings associated with the writer - Brown's Hotel, the boathouse, and others - are well preserved without having been put in mothballs, and the entire place is a pleasure to visit, not least because the dead hand of the heritage industry has been largely kept off.

There are lots of good places to eat and drink, many of them offering local dishes and brews. There is also a very good second-hand bookshop.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13846 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13411
Provides wonderful adventures for children and adults alike; the castle is perched above the River Teifi and feels just like the stronghold it was built to be!

Highly evocative!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13411 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13062 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13062 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12648 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12648 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12620
The town is nice, as it has a lot of historic buildings and friendly people. Good location for day visit and then explore nearby Bangor or Snowdonia.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12620 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12572 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12572 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12565 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12565 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12538 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12538
