Edge of Love movie

4 July 2008

Holiday at the Edge of Love close to the set of new Dylan Thomas movie

As well as starring two of the hottest names in Hollywood Keira Knightley and Sienna Miller, The Edge of Love has turned the spotlight on some of the most beautiful scenery in Wales . 

Dylan Thomas, probably Wales's best-known poet, is said to have based his famous play Under Milk Wood on the stunning harbour of New Quay in Cardigan Bay.

And that is where many of the scenes in the just-released film were shot.

To begin at the beginning......check out what inspired the great poet to wax so lyrical. The harbour has barely changed in decades with its 'cockled cobbles' and sleepy houses - although nowadays it's the starting point for a boat trips across Cardigan Bay to see one of Britain’s few schools of bottle-nosed dolphins. 

Haven Holidays' Quay West Holiday Park overlooks Cardigan Bay and is just ten minute's stroll along the road from the centre of New Quay. Or you can cut through the park's new woodland walk which will take you down to the sandy beach just along from the harbour. 

With all the ingredients for a great family holiday including heated pools, masses of sports activities, nature walks, beach and a full programme of kids' clubs and evening entertainment, Quay West is the perfect resort with something for everyone. 

And you'll find Haven's wide range of spacious, modern self-catering accommodation great value with plenty of room for the whole family. 

So, if you've seen the movie, book a break and see the set. And if you haven't, just come and enjoy the wonderful Welsh countryside.

A four-night break for a family of four people in Standard accommodation at Quay West Holiday Park on July 14th starts at £249, or a seven-night break in peak summer holidays from August 23rd is available at just £569, again for up to six people in Standard accommodation. 

Eight nights for the price of seven! 

A number of Haven parks are offering eight nights for less than £400 for a family of four. Book a seven night break from July 19th and you can stay for the night of Friday 18th at no extra charge. The offer is available at Combe Haven on the South Coast near Hastings, Blue Dolphin in North Yorkshire, Caister, near Great Yarmouth and other parks.
