Town and city breaks in Carmarthenshire
Llanelli, the town in which our hotel in Carmarthenshire resides, is worth spending a good few days getting to know. Established during the seventeenth century, the town expanded and evolved through mining. Llanelli grew significantly though the 18th and 19th centuries with the mining of coal, and later tinplate. The town is now better known for its sporting tradition (rugby in particular) and brewing - the ideal location for a rugby tour! Ruined castles in Roman Carmathern and Norman Kidwelly define old Carmarthenshire towns, the romantic ruins reminding onlookers of the area's long and exciting history. At the other end of the spectrum, Norman Foster's futuristic and unique Glasshouse Dome looks like a flying saucer in the National Botanic Garden of Wales. A half hour drive from our Carmarthenshire hotel, these Gardens are without question worth a visit and have won numerous accolades, including the 'number 1 Wonder of Wales,' 'Most Romantic Garden,' 'Best Children's Garden,' by the Western Mail, plus many more…

For other exciting outdoor escapades, head towards Black Mountain from your Carmarthenshire hotel, here, a 300-mile mosaic of moorland and meadow makes up Fforest Fawr Geopark.
