It is a good base for walkers, both for the serious enthusiast or those who prefer a gentle stroll. Nature lovers will notice the fresh air, with the scent of honeysuckle and wild flowers from the hedgerows. The open field views provide bird watchers with the ideal spot to observe Red Kites which frequent the area; others are content to listen to the birdsong or are amused by the young lambs in nearby fields. Local lake and river fishing is nearby and there are golfing facilities throughout the county. Those with artistic talents may wish to draw, paint or photograph the outstanding scenery.

Larger towns offer modern stores, supermarkets, garden centres and leisure facilities with swimming pools. Local attractions: The Llyn Brianne reservoir - a large lake formed when the river was dammed as part of a hydro-electric scheme, now attracting hikers, cyclists and motorists to take in the spectacular views.

Bird watchers will enjoy the RSPB Reserve at Dinas or the Red Kite feeding station at Llanddeusant.
