Arriving and Exploring the Island of Caldey

It had been several years since I had last ventured out to Caldey Island

Here is a link http://www.caldey-island.co.uk/

You can ask for a Prayer to be said, go to a Retreat, research the history of the Monks and the Island ... and much more

I enjoyed our day there tremendously, there is so much to see, you can walk around the Island and wonder at the breathtaking views, sit and have a picnic, explore the Nature Trail and The Old Priory, attend a service at one of the Churches, or just roam, visit the souvenir shop the Chocolate Factory or sit at the cafe in the village.

Leaving Tenby for a day out at Caldey Island...

Tenby to Caldey Island is a 20minute boat trip. It was a beautiful day, rain had been forecast but luckily for us, it didn't happen. We were bathed in sunshine all day. A picnic at the Lighthouse, I sat eating my sandwiches, mesmerised by the stunning views, and then a wander with my camera down the long straight path that leads back to the village. A detour to the Chocolate Factory, exploring the Old Priory, a walk down the paths of the Nature Trail, back to the village for a spot of tourist shopping, and then meeting up with my group of walkers for a coffee at the cafe.
