Carmarthenshire truly has one of the most diverse landscapes in Wales. Travel through spectacular mountains, rolling landscape and secluded, ancient forests to the vast expanses of golden sandy beaches. Lose yourself in the solitude of the vast, green countryside, follow the course of picturesque rivers and visit the stunning locations of our castles . . . . . 

The true beauty of Carmarthenshire lays in its simplicity and wealth of natural assets.

Until recently, Carmarthenshire, the Garden of Wales, had been overlooked as a place of outstanding natural beauty but now more and more visitors are waking up to all it has to offer. 

The Brecon Beacons National Park is one of our proudest possessions. The western end of the Beacons, which falls within south-east of the county, is a hidden gem as it is home to many of the least explored sections of the national park.

Up here you’ll find the brooding peak of the Black Mountain, part of the Fforest Fawr Geopark. It’s remote and atmospheric, untamed and exciting yet on its doorstep you will discover gentle lakes, waterfalls and the green, green grass.

Carmarthenshire is full of gorgeous green spaces - forests, woodlands and country. Soak up the coastal beauty of Carmarthen Bay, a hive of beaches, coves and endless stretches of sand. After all, we do have some of the most glorious sandy beaches in Europe.

Dip a toe in the deliciously salty sea at Pendine or enjoy an ice cream while you paddle at Pembrey, where the beach is separated from a fun-filled country park by a ridge of rolling sand dunes. A great family day out!
