In the beautiful town of Llandeilo, visit the National Trust - Dinefwr, a 12th-century Welsh fortress settled on a steep hillside, overlooking the River Tywi.

The nearby Aberglasney Gardens offer a collection of rare and unusual plants, perfect for horticulture enthusiasts. Wander the romantic paths of Castle Woods and discover the evocative ruins amidst the woodland. No trip to Carmarthenshire would be complete without visiting its county town, Carmarthen. The Gwili Steam Railway will take you along a scenic river valley, and Carmarthen Park provides outdoor leisure for the whole family, while the historic Carmarthen Castle stands overlooking the city. Round off your day with a delightful meal at either The Castle Hotel or The Bear Inn, both offering a warm, friendly atmosphere and mouthwatering dishes that reflect the rich food culture of the region. Return to Shepherd's Cwtch to rest and reflect on your day exploring the delights of Carmarthenshire.

This pretty market town sits on the edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park. This area is popular for walking, fishing and cycling with the Black Mountains, Crychan Forest, Cwm Rhaeadr and the River Towey waiting to be discovered.

A walk up to the castle is a must as from here you enjoy the views out across the town to the neighbouring River Bran.

After a day spent walking through the beautiful countryside there are many cafés, tea rooms, delis and patisseries for you to relax in. Not to be missed is the annual Sheep Festival which is held every September and celebrates droving, sheep farming and the wool industry. Llandovery is in a fantastic location with something to suit everyone on the doorstep. The village of Llandeilo, a twenty minute drive away, is a pretty market town with a lovely selection of unusual gift shops, eating places and pubs, whilst visits to the medieval Dinefwr and Carreg Cennen Castles add to the charm. Nearby, explore the ruins of Talley Abbey, The National Botanic Garden Of Wales, an array of historic castles, plus a large selection of beautiful sandy beaches and the famous coastal path all within comfortable driving distances.
