Things to do nearby

A short drive brings you to the county town of Carmarthen, with its market and shops, and to Laugharne, the township that inspired Dylan Thomas’s Under Milk Wood, where you can visit his Boathouse and writing shed. The vast beach at Cefn Sidan and the woodland and dunes of Pembrey Country Park are also within easy reach for a family day out.
