    Talybont Farm Llawhaden | Narberth | Pembrokeshire | SA67 8HJ Talybont Farmhouse “We immediately fell for this house as soon as we stepped through the front door. It offers space and tranquillity. The farmhouse is in a unique, almost fairytale, location with views of the medieval castle and church while the River Cleddau meanders its way through the countryside below,” says Jackie. “We have lived at the property for five years and have refurbished much of the house to ensure it is maintained to a high standard. We have refitted the bathrooms and converted the Aga from oil to electric,” says David. “As well as this we have two large log burners which create an inviting home in the winter months.” “Since moving into the property we have created further accommodation in a disused barn. This was stripped bare and converted into a two bedroom cottage. At the moment we use it for when friends and family come to visit but it could also be used as an annexe, holiday let or to run a business from. The house has a welcoming farmhouse style kitchen and dining room. It is my favourite room with a large inglenook fireplace which is big enough to sit in!” says Jackie. “It is a very comfortable house in the winter and our kitchen is the heart of the home where we spend the majority of our time.” “Our motivation in moving to Llawhaden was to leave the city life and embrace a fully rural way of life. At the farmhouse we have been able to do just that.

This document provides the Welsh Government’s Report to the National Assembly for Wales on the Marine Protected Areas network, in response to recommendation 10 of the Environment and Sustainability Committee’s Marine Inquiry. Recommendation 10: By the 31 December 2013, the Welsh Government should voluntarily lay before the Assembly a report that meets the requirement of section 124 of the Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009. This report should include an appraisal of the environmental status, governance and enforcement of existing marine protected areas. 2. Section 124 of the Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009 (the Marine Act) requires the Welsh Ministers to lay a report before the National Assembly for Wales on the extent to which it has achieved the objectives in the Marine Act to use conservation sites to contribute to a UK network of marine protected areas. The report must cover further steps needed to meet the network objectives, as well as specific details on any Marine Conservation Zones that have been designated. 3. The network objectives as detailed in section 123 of the Marine Act are that European marine sites (Special Areas of Conservation, Special Protection Areas), Sites of Special Scientific Interest and Ramsar sites form a network which contributes to the conservation or improvement of the marine environment in the UK marine area; where the features which are protected by the sites comprised in the network represent the range of features present in the UK marine area; and recognises the conservation of a feature may require the designation of more than one site.
