"For a small town in the middle of Wales that happened to be a well-timed pitstop to our destination, it ticks a lot of boxes: it has a playground (the kids are happy), it's awash with antique shops (I'm very happy, though I'm writing this still with regrets for the oil painting I left behind). The buzzy street food hall here, Hwb, keeps us all dry, warm and well-fed."
"It's Abergwaun in Welsh, and those well versed in British history might be familiar with it as the site of the last invasion in Britain back in 1797. In recent years, it's gone through a bit of a renaissance, luring in more than just coast path ramblers (the 186-mile Pembrokeshire Coast Path National Trail runs right through the town) with the likes of a Nourish, a sourdough bakery that draws a London-length queue,"
Crossing the border from England into Wales immediately eases tension and induces calm. A five-hour drive from south London with two small children includes a rainy stop in Narbeth, which offers a playground, numerous antique shops, and a buzzy street food hall called Hwb known for an exceptional Thai green curry. The journey continues to Fishguard (Abergwaun), a coastal town linked to the 1797 invasion and the 186-mile Pembrokeshire Coast Path, now home to popular eateries like Nourish and independent galleries and pubs. Ty Clai, created by ceramicist-architects Emma and Luke Flynn, combines a pottery studio, ceramics shop, and a restored three-bedroom Airbnb.
