We’re outside again, visiting the Bluestone Resort, Pembrokeshire Wales.
Wherever you walk in Wales you’re never far away from some fascinating places and history.
The Bluestone Resort is situated in the Pembrokeshire countryside near Narbeth. We take a walk around the site and come across on old medieval church, the ruins of a mansion, an ancient pilgrimage route and an ancient hilltop fort, all this history within a mile of Bluestone.
It’s not just Wales, wherever you visit in Britain and however remote it may feel, there’s history everywhere.
Hidden in the trees in the middle of the resort are the remains of Newton North Church dating back to the 12th century. Not far way away in the neighbouring woods is Castell Coch, a well-preserved late medieval fortified mansion house.
We did try to find the early Blackpool Iron Furnace dating from the 1700s but it was too overgrown or we were in the wrong place.
We walk a small stretch of The Knight’s Way, an ancient Pilgrim’s path which actually runs all the way to St David’s Cathedral.
Finally, we visit Minwear Ringwork, an old hilltop fort alongside the valley of the Penglyn Brook in Bluestone. The site is very overgrown but you can still male out the embankments and ditches. It was originally thought to be Iron Age but CADW suggest that it dates from the early medieval period.
