The coastal path, especially beautiful in May and June with all the wild flowers at their best, is less than ten minutes away. Wonderful views of Abereiddi and the coast from the farmyard. Pembrokeshire is well known for its beautiful coastline and unspoilt scenery, with a vast choice of activities waiting for you to explore. In 1840 Caerhys was just 13 acres and was made up of 8 small fields. These are now one large field. In the census of 1851 it showed that there were 3 dwellings at Caerhys. 14 people lived here some were farmers and one was a slater and his family, he probably worked in the slate quarry at Abereiddy. Gerald`s father acquired tenancy of Caerhys in 1934 which had mixed farming. In 1967 he bought the farm which was now approx 70 acres, it is now in total 160 acres. Along the decades it has been a good early producing farm, growing 70 acres of early potatoes in the 70's and 80's as well as running a dairy herd and growing arable crops and pasture to feed all the livestock. In 1998 we gained our organic licence. In 2003 due to falling milk prices, we decided to sell our dairy herd. We are now diversifying to alternative enterprises; a welsh black suckler herd, Livery and stables, Bed and Breakfast and holiday cottage We hope you will enjoy your stay at Caerhys. We will do our best to make your holiday as relaxing and as comfortable as possible.
