So delighted to receive this thank you card from last week’s guests in Cedar ….
It means so much to know how much the homegrown flowers were appreciated and even better to know it had encouraged someone else to grow more too 🌼.
Which are your favourite flowers to grow?

🏰 Fancy a free day out near Tenby?

Manorbier Castle is opening its doors for free on Sunday 20th September 2026 as part of Cadw’s Open Doors programme, and there’s no need to book.

Overlooking Manorbier Beach and the Pembrokeshire coast, the historic Norman castle has chambers, ancient towers and gardens to explore, with wonderful views out towards the sea.

For the Open Doors event, visitors can also discover new visual and audio interpretation bringing the medieval world to life, alongside interactive displays.

The tearoom will be serving cakes, savoury lunches and refreshments, and if you fancy something a little different, there will also be Victorian-style mini tennis to try.

📅 Sunday 20th September 2026

🎟️ Free admission
✅ No booking required

📍 Manorbier Castle, Manorbier, Tenby, SA70 7SY
