A great day out for all the family ? The Royal Welsh Show
Travel to Wales via Cardiff
Many of our guests use the M4 to get to Wales, break up the journey by stopping off in the lively Welsh capital of Cardiff which will make a great start to your holiday. ?Throughout July and August, Cardiff comes to life with the UK?s largest free outdoor festival with street theatre, live music, comedy and funfairs. From food festivals to family picnics; musicals to sailing and street theatre. ?Squeeze the most into your summer!
Cardiff Summer Festival, events to suit everyone?s taste?
A recent article in the Telegraph titled ?50 Things To Do Before You Are 11 ?? sparked some interesting conversations in the Sheepskin office and we?ve even added to the list. ?There was a lot of ?do you remember doing this, do you remember doing that?? An extensive list of wonderful ?Famous Five? type activities, put together by the National Trust is hoping to encourage children to enjoy the outdoors and go off exploring. Here at Sheepskin, we totally agree!
There are so many activities on this list that we think are great fun and should be enjoyed, even if your older than 11 ?.
Many of Sheepskin?s properties are surrounded by beautiful countryside with streams and forests on their doorstep. Simple things like pooh sticks, building a dam, climbing trees are all things that you and your children can have hours of fun doing.
We thought about some of our favourite childhood adventures and have linked them with a property?
Check out the crazy creatures in a rock pool? at The Water Mill
The Water Mill in Snowdonia, sleeps 6 with an additional annexe to accommodates a further 2 guests with its own en-suite (great for grandparents!) The house exudes character with its 12th century water wheel that you can see turn from outside the house. ?Be sure to ask the housekeeper on arrival to arrange to have a demonstration and learn more about the mill wheel.
At the bottom of the garden is a stream, a challenging run for a game of Pooh sticks while parents enjoy a BBQ on the spacious decked, terrace and keep a watchful eye.
The Water Mill has some availability during this summer, do check out our website for availability or drop us an email at the Sheepskin office at inspired@sheepskinlife.com
Go on a nature walk at Night ? At Manal
Manal is just 20 minutes from Carmarthen but very much an idyllic cottage hideaway. With 2 double bedrooms, perfect for those seeking outdoor adventure with lots of activities on offer in the Brechfa forest.
The house is completely secluded with walks and mountain biking from the door into the Brechfa Forest, sheep are your neighbours in the surrounding fields making an enjoyable pastime watching them graze in the fields.

Go Wild Swimming ? At Red Kite Barn
Take your family off to explore the best wild swimming locations which are close to Red Kite Barn, some real beauty spots?pack a picnic and your swimming gear and brave the Welsh waters! ?Please do take care and never venture in dangerous in high waters or fast currents.
Elan Wye Junction Pool
We love this idyllic spot close to the village of Llanwrthwl, off the A470 road, north from Builth Wells and Newbridge-on-Wye and south of Rhayader. The wobbly bridge across to a hidden meadow is a must. 10 miles from Red Kite Barn. ?Check out the?Wild Swimming website

Find your way with a map and compass? At Wayside
Wayside sits amongst a patchwork of fields and forests drape the slopes of this beautiful valley, the soft sounds of farmland drift reassuringly on the breeze. ?This 3-bedroom property is ideal for families with grandparents as there are two double bedrooms and a twin bedroom with 2-single beds. ?With walks from the door into the Aran Mountains it is a perfect place for you and the kids to map out some walks and practise your navigating skills.

Run around in the rain?.
We thought we would save the absolute best activity to last.
Wales has a mountainous countryside and is also close to the Atlantic Ocean so rain fall is higher than average. Don?t let it put you off, Sheepskin like to say?there is no such thing as bad weather, only the wrong clothes. So pack your waterproofs and wellies and run around in the rain!
All our family properties have a selection of Drummond board games such as Articulate, Logo, Wordsearch? hours of fun for rainy days enjoying lots of quality time as a family.
So go on, let?s encourage children to enjoy the beauty of the outdoors and the fun of exploring and being?.. children.
