EXPLORING WALES AND BEYOND WITH MINI HUMANS
Beaches, Castles, Forests, Theme Parks, Holiday Accomodation, Playgrounds, Lakes.
As we love to explore and I love to document it all with my camera, I decided to start a blog of the places we've visited in Wales. I've recently started exploring a little further afield too and you'll find these by choosing 'Beyond Wales' at the top menu. I started this pre-Covid so you'll notice some of the blogs have a much smaller little human in the pictures (and some blogs missing my newest little man!) In the title of each blog I have put the region that might be familiar to people as well as the county so you can scroll and find somewhere relatively close to where you're heading. So if for example you see 'Skrinkle Haven, Tenby (Pembrokeshire)' - it doesn't mean that Skrinkle Haven is in Tenby but it's somewhere you could visit if you're staying close to Tenby!
FINDING PLACES TO VISIT AND NAVIGATING THE BLOG
The easiest way to find something you're looking for is to use the search bar at the top. Type in 'Pembrokeshire' or 'Beach' or maybe 'Picnic' and it will present all of the blogs that mention those key words.
We'd love to hear if you've visited somewhere we've blogged about! Please let us know if any information has changed since we've been there last so that I can update the blog! Don't forget to let us know if there's anywhere worth a visit that we haven't been to yet! Enjoy Exploring!
