Ty Cefn Tregib

Your first outing here should be to the Dinefwr estate (40 minutes’ walk) for a stroll around the deer park and visits to both the Jacobean mansion and the remains of the 12th-century castle. After that, carry on up into Llandeilo to wander among the colourful houses and stop by in one of the town’s pubs or eateries. Being on the edge of the Bannau Brycheiniog, there are lots more walks nearby too, whether you fancy a gentle riverside stroll, a history-themed wander around Carreg Cennen Castle (10 minutes’ drive) and its surroundings or a challenging uphill trek at the Black Mountain (25 minutes). Golf, horse riding and cycle trails are also close by, and there’s some great wildlife watching at the Red Kite Feeding Station Llanddeusant (25 minutes). Looking a little further afield, other outings might take you to the National Botanic Garden of Wales (20 minutes), Dolaucothi Gold Mines (25 minutes) or the Carmarthenshire coast – the nearest beaches are about 35 minutes away.
