Cute cafe selling lunch, hot drinks, ice cream and scones! They have some seats outside and inside. Parking outside plus toilets and sea view. There’s also an ice cream and chip shop next to it

Ruins of a castle a short walk from Llansteffan beach. Apparently “The castle was built by the Normans after 1100” it is privately owned but under a deed of guardianship. Worth the walk up the hill to it!

Lovely park in Carmarthen. You can park at Tesco and walk round here as long as you’re shopping of course 😬 it has lots of benches, a park, a nice velodrome which is good to sit and watch people. Nice little hidden place in the town

Arguably one of the most stunning locations in Wales. Although ruined, the castle retains its power to intimidate – especially when you approach its massive twin-towered gatehouse, built in around 1280 and still looming large.The hilltop can only be approached on foot. A pathway leads up to the headland, where the climb is rewarded with superb views of the estuary and the surrounding countryside.

Llansteffan has been described as one of Wales’ best kept secrets. A sort of Never Never land known only to locals. Once you’ve experienced the magical beauty of a sunset over the castle above the River Tywi, you will wonder why more people haven't experienced this wonderful place for themselves.
