Many people remember Ty Nancy from visits to St Davids. They think of it as 'the pink cottage,' overlooking the cathedral. When we were children, staying in the pink cottage, Nancy would show us how to tell a buzzard from a peregrine falcon, and where the badgers and foxes ran at night. She kept bees, and knew a huge amount about their lives and activities.
We had the best ever holidays in St Davids, and still visited when we could during our adult lives.
On the right of the driveway is the ancient 'cowled' spring of Quickwell, once an important source of water for all St Davids. Some people think the 'cowl' round the door is there because the spring was used by the abbey. Nowadays it is kept firmly locked shut.
