‘Year 4, Aberaeron Primary School enjoyed a fantastic day, full of interesting and challenging activities at Naturesbase, Cilcennin. We received a very warm welcome from all the staff. The  pupils and their teacher thoroughly enjoyed the day with one pupil stating, “It was the best day ever!” We look forward to future visits.’
