Our little corner of West Wales is reasonably well served by public transport, so if you can get to us this way - then please do.
We offer FREE train and bus station transfers at certain times, the details are below. Our Preseli Venture buses are run on bio diesel, so if you're concerned with your carbon footprint, take a train then grab a ride in our chip oil powered bus! If you decide to drive, and are happy to lift share, please do let us know as we can put you in touch with other folks joining us on the weekend and perhaps you can share a ride.
