South Wales / Pembrokeshire
« on: August 13, 2010, 10:55:32 am »

I am going on a small 3-day trip soon and was wondering if somebody could suggest some nice shooting locations along the South Wales.

Thanks in advance!

There lot of beauty in south Wales, theres lots of  coastal places in Pembrokeshire, Pembroke castle, Tenby for the harbour and boats, Caldy island (boat trip costs a few pounds) then further south the Brecon beacons national park for mountains, carig cennin castle (across the vally is a good shooting spot), the Gower coast is worth a look if time permits.  A lot depends on what tipe of thing your after really. 
Do take a waterproof jacket though the weather here can change pretty quickly.

North Wales has impressive, high mountains, but mid Wales has more trees and some may consider it more scenic.

Keep you itinerary flexible, check the forecast and then decide where to go.

Try the coast line, especially from St David's Head up to Fishguard, there's cliffs, secluded beaches and it's very rural. The best bit is that you get the best light in the evenings so not so much need for early mornings! There are also plenty of ancient megaliths to be found if you do a bit of research. Not quite Pembrokeshire, but a little more east there are the Breacon Beacons, a more mountainous landscape. Along the Afon Mellte, north of  Pontneddfechan there are lovely wooded limestone gorges with lots of hidden waterfalls, wonderful in spring and autumn.

Best Regards,
Colin
