ROGER ALBERT CLARK RALLY
Things to do
If you are looking to combine a day or two watching Rallying alongside other non-motorsport interests, there are plenty of options.
The Welsh section offers plenty of impressive castles around Pembrey, including Carmarthen, while there are also beautiful beaches and nature walks on the Gower Peninsular or museums and a zoo in the busy city of Swansea.
The northern section, based around Carlisle, has an impressive castle in the centre of the town, Scottish history at the Mary Queen of Scots Visitors Centre, and the Campfield Marsh wetland reserve on the Solway Firth.
Accommodation, Food and Drink
The popularity of the event means that many places are already booked up, some a year in advance, but there is still availability in some of the bigger chain hotels and affordable accommodation can be found by heading slightly further away from the rally centres.
There are plenty of pubs in Pembrey – including the Ship Aground – and north of the circuit at Kidwelly, where the Boot and Shoe serve a hearty breakfast, plenty of lunch options, and tapas in the evening.
Around Carlisle Airport, there is many country hotel-pubs such as the Sally and the Fleece at Ruleholme, as well as a lively night scene with bars, pubs and clubs in the city itself.
