Recent tips about Carmarthen

If you want to stay in the UK this summer I recommend a trip to Llangadog in Carmarthenshire, South Wales.

Llangadog is situated in the heart of the Towy Valley, half way between Llandeilo and Llandovery. Llangadog is on the western edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park and is surrounded by beautiful rolling hills with stunning views towards the Black Mountain.

The Last Gallery has been open in the village for the last two years and hosts exhibition of contemporary art from March through to December (www.thelast.co.uk).

Also in the village there are several pub/restaurants/hotels including The Red Lion (www.redlioncoachinginn.co.uk) and The Goose and Cuckoo which serve great food, drink and are very welcoming.

There’s lots to see and do in the area including The Towy River, a favourite with fishermen from all over the UK; Llangadog Common where you can spot Reds Kites and just up the road The Red Kite Feeding Station www.redkiteswales.co.uk/. There is also a spectacular drive along the A4069 from Llangadog to Brynamen passing over The Black Mountain.

Carmarthen Bay Holiday Park

Posted by SteveS123 11 January 2008

For a young family, Carmarthen Bay Holiday Park was a wise choice. As soon as we arrived our two boys were happily entertained. With a staffed swimming pool and organised cycling trips, amongst other sports, we were free to relax and wind-down just as we had hoped.
