Coppet Hall, Saundersfoot

We took a quick little trip over the weekend, up to Saundersfoot in West Wales. We stayed on Coppet Hall at the hotel which is practically on the beach. It's a place we've walked past many times in the past but never been in - it was nice to stay there for once. It's fair to say it's one of my favourite places on the planet thanks to a lot of time spent there on holidays.

We went up Friday afternoon after Elis had been to Nursery. We had a stroll on the beach and a wander, but not much time to do anything as we were all shattered. Elis has been getting us up early and not sleeping well so we've had a few tired days the last week as he gets used to his new routine of daily nursery.

The reason for the visit was we wanted to go up an look at areas around there that we can move to. We're have to get our house on the market the next week, and we can start planning where we're going. We'll have to rent for a bit, which will give us a bit of flexibility and time.

We did big circular trip through Saundersfoot, Pembroke, Narberth and Whitland, looking at places along the route, we got a few ideas about where we'll go now. Anyway, Saturday morning Elis was up early in the hotel so I took him out for a walk on the beach to give everyone else a lie-in.

It was very windy on the beach and the tide was right up, so we took a long walk down Coppet Hall Beach, up onto the cliff around towards Wiseman's Bridge - an old coal railway route, then back again. The waves were whipping up a strange froth like a head of beer. Some nice photos were taken, here's some for you.
