Ffald y brenin




Earlier this week we drove nearly three hundred due west from London to the furthest coast of Pembrokeshire.   We were booked to go on a retreat at  Ffald-y-Brenin, a centre about five miles west of Fishguard.   Many Christians have been here since reading  a book called The Grace Outpouring.   


This is view overlooking Cwm Gwaun, a narrow valley of great interest and beauty.  Of course the locals all speak Welsh.


At the edge of the property they have built a wooden cross.   Many of the guests visit the spot to meditate and pray



The whole site has been tastefully designed and maintained.


This is the view of the tastefully designed garden with its pond full of tadpoles.  the pond is fed by a stream that has been piped across the surrounding hills.  The chapel below has been built around a large rock  Several times a day  short Celtic-style services are held.

  2. Your photos of your visit are wonderful. This area looks very green and peaceful. I am not familiar with the book you mention but obviously it has inspired many to visit here.

    It has been too long since I've visited your blog! I have been reading through some of your recent posts. I especially enjoyed the one on Listening.
