Dear all,

I am sure that by now you are all aware of the restrictions and limitations we are all facing due to this recent pandemic. The thought of people losing their lives to this illness is devastating but the increased community spirit is quite comforting.  My expertise is not medical so I am content to listen to the experts and government and stay isolated in my home for the time being.  Sadly, there will be no tours or adventures until it is deemed safe for travellers to return to exploring our wonderful country.

This is giving me quality time with my family and an unexpected opportunity to catch up with administration and paperwork and additional study.  So I have a plan!  Alongside reading for my MA Celtic Studies degree, I will be working up some new tour ideas so I am ready to welcome visitors as soon as we are permitted to travel again.

Great love and best wishes to you all as you patiently work through the next few months.

Stay strong and healthy and look out for my little updates,

Tour Guide Sarah

I have never met a food I didn’t like so I am delighted that my home town, Pembrokeshire’s county town of Haverfordwest is hosting the inaugural Haverfordwest Food Festival – Haverfoodfest this weekend. From what I’ve seen so far, I believe this will become a popular annual event.

This year 48 stalls will showcase tasty treats from around West Wales and there will be a range of demonstrations by celebrity chef Angela Gray and various local food business owners. We will be entertained by live music from a number of Pembrokeshire and Welsh acts and refreshed by an on-site licensed bar.
I anticipate that this event will show off some of our outstanding local produce from Pembrokeshire new potatoes to Welsh lamb, some ‘wickedly Welsh chocolate’ and a selection of poultry, beef, sausages, burgers, dairy produce, pasties, pies, cakes, bread, chutneys, relishes and jams and ice cream. (This list could go on… But please let there be my favourite local cheeses!)
So, if you like good food, great music and a fantastic atmosphere, then Haverfordwest is the place to be on Saturday, 9th May 2015. The event will be held in the grounds of County Hall and in the adjacent Picton Centre from 10am to 6pm.
I for one will be skipping breakfast so that I can make the most of the tasty treats, though I don’t think that I could wait to compete in the Man vs Food competition… I’ll be unable to resist sampling the local produce before that competition starts!

See you there!

I’ve been guiding since 2011 and I’ve recently achieved the Wales Blue Badge qualification accredited by Visit Wales and the Wales Official Tourist Guides Association. This means that I am now qualified to guide anywhere in Wales, so it seemed like a good time to update my website.

I found a great little Welsh company, BrandNu Creative, that specialises in branding and web design and together we looked at the old site and worked out what needed improvement.

The Logo

The logo design we agreed on was a perfect fit for Pembrokeshire Guided Tours. The colours were inspired by the landscapes of my native Wales. Blues represent the sea and the skies, the greens are reminders of the rural landscapes, fields and woodlands and the bright pink reminiscent of the red campions, thrift and foxgloves seen on the coast and in the hedgerows during spring and summer. The shape was inspired by map pins, with two intertwined to create a heart shape.

Awe-inspiring locations + authentic experiences = heart-warming memories
