Who better to show you what makes the Preseli Mountains special than the Year 5 and 6 pupils of Gelliswick CiW VC Primary School? With support from the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority, the pupils explored the hills first-hand before putting their persuasive writing skills to work. We’re delighted to share this piece, which brings together writing from across both year groups. By the time you’ve finished reading, you might just be reaching for your walking boots.
Step into Adventure: Discover the Preseli Mountains!
Picture this: breathtaking views that stretch as far as the eye can see with the cool mountain breeze brushing past your face and blowing through your hair. This is what the Preseli mountains can provide. Now ask yourself, would you really choose to stay inside doom scrolling on a boring device when a jaw dropping adventure is waiting to be had?
To begin with, visiting the Preseli mountains is one of the most effective ways to exercise, fill your lungs with fresh, mountain air and make you feel content. Consequently, exploring the wild landscape is an experience a city cannot compete with. Surprisingly, one visit can make you feel addicted to the Preseli mountains!

More importantly, the Preseli’s offer breathtaking views that are desperate to be contained within your camera roll. The mountains are unbeatable and the memories you would make there will never fade away. In my view, there is something truly special about the legendary Preseli’s. Unlike sitting on the sofa, staring at a TV, visiting the Preseli’s is like a hidden gem. The sights, smells and sounds of the experience is unforgettable.
Why would you stay in your home when you could go for an incredible hike? Every visit to the mythical Preseli Mountains can become an adventure. You could see the realistic, astonishing views, climb the phenomenal mountains and have a seat by the magnificent rock architecture. As a result, you’re not just walking the Preseli’s, you’re traveling through ancient history.
