Preseli Hills & Narberth
The Preseli Hills rise to the East of the North Dyfed coast, and are full of ancient relics; it is believed that the massive stones that were used to build Stonhenge came from this locality. The lovely resort of Amroth, on Caramarthen Bay, marks the start/ finish point of the spectacular Pembrokeshire Coast National Park footpath. Truly an area of magic and mystery, the Preseli hills cast a spell on whoever visits them. Pendine Sands are located to the East and are within easy reach, made famous when Sir Malcolm Campbell broke the world land speed record in the 1920s.

2009 marks the 250th anniversary of Scottish poet Robert Burns' birth. Burns was a poet and a lyricist and is widely regarded as the national poet of Scotland.
The Burns Supper was started a few years after his death by a group of his friends; they held the supper to honour and remember Burns. The tradition caught on and the ritual of Burns Supper is now held all around the world.
His life and work will be celebrated throughout the year at many Burns-related events.
