What is life like in Carmarthenshire?
Life moves at a gentler pace in Carmarthenshire, but you’ll never run out of things to do. Carmarthen itself, one of the oldest towns in Wales, offers a great mix of high street shops, cafes, gyms and supermarkets, while still managing to feel relaxed and welcoming. It is packed with history too, from castle walls to tales of Merlin.
For a coastal lifestyle, Llanelli has become increasingly popular. You’ll find the beautiful Millennium Coastal Path stretching along the waterfront, and Pembrey Country Park just around the corner. If you love being close to green space but still need efficient road links, Cross Hands and Ammanford are two fast-growing hubs with everything you need close by.
What are some of the best things to do in Carmarthenshire?
If you love being outdoors, you’ll feel right at home in Carmarthenshire. There are miles of walking and cycling trails, scenic drives and wildlife to enjoy across the Brechfa Forest, the Cambrian Mountains and the Tywi Valley. You can visit the National Botanic Garden of Wales near Llanarthne, which has the world’s largest single-span glasshouse and is the most visited garden in Wales.
Pembrey Country Park is one of the most popular destinations in the county. At the park, you’ll find eight miles of beach, adventure playgrounds, cycle routes, horse riding and even a dry ski slope. The adjacent Cefn Sidan Beach is perfect for long walks and paddling in the sea.
History lovers can explore Kidwelly Castle, one of the best-preserved Norman castles in Wales. Meanwhile, the sleepy town of Laugharne, has castle ruins and strong links to poet Dylan Thomas.
How well connected is Carmarthenshire?
Carmarthenshire is well connected by both road and rail. The M4 corridor starts just east of the county and links easily to Cardiff, Swansea and the Severn Bridge. The A48 and A40 provide scenic and direct routes between key towns, and the A477 makes access to Pembrokeshire and Tenby straightforward.
