💔 60 yrs ago today

Aberfan will Never be Forgotten 💔

On this day in 1966, the small Welsh village of Aberfan was struck by an unthinkable tragedy.

144 lives were lost 116 of them children when a coal tip collapsed onto their school.

It’s a story that broke Wales’ heart, and one that still brings tears generations later. But it’s also a story of love, unity, and resilience a reminder of how our nation stands together in times of sorrow.

Today, we remember them. Always.
Cofiwch Aberfan. 🕯️

🚍🎤🤩 Maureen, Mavis & Mark! 🤩🎤🚍

With the season drawing to a close, it was lovely to welcome our friends from Highcliffe Coach Holidays back to west Wales one final time in 2026 as a Wales Best Guides.

Also, a double, from the The Cliff Hotel & Spa!

Tuesday saw us go up to Aberaron and Aberystwyth.

Thursday saw us travel into Pembrokeshire - via the Preseli Hills and Newgale, a stop off at Vincent Davies Department Store and St Davids!

Whilst taking lunch in The Farmers Arms, St.Davids, Mark was joined by Maureen and Mavis from the tour.

Great food, great company!

See you in 2027 Highcliffe Coach Holidays!

😃 Happy Days with Highcliffe Holidays! 🚍

A great day was had last week with driver Brendan and a lively group from Highcliffe Coach Holidays out of the Clarence Hotel in Tenby!

We visited Carew Castle, Newgale, St Davids with its Cathedral and then back to Vincent Davies Department Store for some retail therapy!

Mark & Alyson are looking forward to meeting a new group from the south coast this week!

🙏⛪️😄 On Tour with the Bishop! 😄⛪️🙏

Our recent coach trip to St Davids with our friends from Bibby's of Ingleton had a rather unexpected special guest appearance!

As Mark was giving an overview of St Davids Cathedral atop the 39 steps, who should appear but none other than Dorrien Davies, the Bishop of St Davids!

When Mark was Mayor of Cardigan in 2009/2010, Dorrien was Vicar of St Dogmaels so they would often meet in civic functions.

Mark was able to congratulate Dorrien on his recent 'promotion' and it was wonderful to have him say a few words of welcome to our friends from the north!

Diolch Dorrien! Wedd yn braf i weld chi eto!

West is best! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿❤️

New Strictly host Josh Widdicombe has a huge soft spot for Wales after spending a lot of his childhood here growing up 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿❤️

The TV star has been brimming with praise for Wales in past interviews - with one breathtaking spot holding a very special place in his heart.

Speaking previously to BBC Wales, Josh opened up bout his "glorious" childhood camping trips to Pembrokeshire - and didn't hold back in declaring it just as beautiful as Cornwall, but without the chaotic crowds.

The 43-year-old said: "It's underrated as well. Not many people realise it's as beautiful as Cornwall, but it's not got the reputation.

"On Broad Haven Beach - you've always got your space.

"And that Lily Ponds Walk on the way to Broad Haven Beach - absolutely superb.

"I could go on about it forever." 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿❤️

🤩🎤🚍 Bibby's are Back! 🚍🎤🤩

Always great to welcome our enthusiastic Bibby's of Ingleton visitors from the North back to Pembrokeshire!

As well as stops in Carew Castle and Tidal Mill, St Davids Cathedral (more to follow in a later post!) and the Dyfed Shire Horse Farm, it's never a bad idea to pop into Newgale en-route when the skies are blue to showcase our stunning coastline!

Thank you to driver Andy and the group of 35 for another thoroughly enjoyable day!

🇩🇪🗣 A Berlin Bus-man's Holiday! 🗣🇩🇪

Mark & Alyson greatly enjoyed their stay in Berlin this week, beginning with a Big Bus Berlin Tour of the city.

On Mark's birthday, they followed up with a 2 hour walking tour from the Brandenburger Tor to Checkpoint Charlie, under the excellent guiding of Pippa who proved herself knowledgeable, approachable and humourous with her commentary!

Vielen Danke Pippa! Wunderbar!
