Carmarthenshire Tourism Association's "Visitor Experience of the Year" and a unique way to explore the horrible history of this the oldest town in South Wales. Take a magical trip through Carmarthen's creepy past and meet murders and their victims; see where they burned a bishop and locked up villains.

Public visits take place on most Wednesday evenings at 7pm until mid-October. Always phone or text to make your booking. Private experiences are always available for groups and individuals. Creepy Carmarthen is great for couples and irresistible to kids as well as being a fun thing to do and fantastic for families, groups and the historically adventurous. It is budget-friendly and wonderful for revealing hidden gems from this ancient town's past.

Garden of four acres closely planted with many rare trees,shrubs and perennials open to the public for the National Garden Scheme, a charity which benefits mainly cancer and nursing charities. We are open most days, but it is advisable to check our phone message to avoid disappointment. Llwyngarreg continues to develop further, delighting plant lovers with its many rarities incl species Primulas, many bamboos with Roscoeas, Hedychiums and Salvias extending the season through to riotous autumn colour. Trees and rhododendrons have been underplanted with perennials. The sunken garden for tender/exotic gems and gravel terraces with formal pool continues to mature. Springs form a series of linked ponds across the main garden, providing colourful bog gardens.
Absolutely gorgeous garden worth a good hour or more to explore! We went as part of the National Garden Scheme and we so delighted to have done so. The garden is a mix of forest, water, more formal garden and also farm (with ducks and chickens). The owners are so friendly and very happy to talk about their 20 year experience building this incredibly special place in West Wales. Would be great with kids as there are lots of little nooks and crannies to explore and some very well integrated sculpture to find! Highly recommended,

*2018 Visit Wales - Best Activity in West Wales* Our aim is to give everyone, no matter how old or how young, the chance to experience that thrill of having a bird of prey or owl, fly to your glove. By only taking bookings for private groups, we are able to make each moment you spend with the birds all the more special, as it's tailored to you and your family and friends. For previous TripAdvisor reviews please see Pembrokeshire Falconry, Haverfordwest
We visited the British Birds of Prey centre at National Botanic Gardens of Wales yesterday and were swept away by how marvellous it was. The three staff members were all exceptionally knowledgeable and the presentation was wonderful - the lady giving it was the best speaker I've seen in a long time and worth the entrance fee in itself. We were stopping off on a driving day West to East and weren't sure it would entertain our 5 year old but were delighted to find we were all fascinated and stayed far longer than we anticipated. My daughter got to fly a kite - despite being titchy - and, I stress again, the staff were supportive, friendly and passionate about the birds they look after. Both my daughter and myself were rather inspired. After a lockdown fascination with trees we're now moving over to birds in a big way. Many thanks to all. We'll be back soon!

Our aim is conservation through education & public engagement. You can take part in private and group flying experiences available daily.
I had an owl flying experience today which was excellent Cody our falconer was amazing and very knowledgable as was the manager and all the staff that we met. I would recommend this experience to anyone. The scheduled displays were also amazing Thank you Susan Roden

This spectacular gray-stone fortress dates back to the 13th century, and is noted for its awesome views from the craggy hilltop upon which the castle sits.
I'd heard of Carreg Cennen Castle near Llandeilo years ago from a friend who used to live nearby, and he truely didn't do it justice! Carreg Cennen Castle is simply put a Spectacular, Stunning & Magnificant Castle Ruin towering on the hill top on the edge of the Brecon Beacons - one of the most stunning castle locations we've ever visited - and we've been to quite a few! Well maintained by CADW, so we had free entry using our CADW membership. Friendly helpful staff. Stunning all round views, even of the castle ruin on the way up - a little wet underfoot, but it was October in Wales!!! Highlight for the family was the cave and tunnel under the castle. Suggest you bring a torch, or you can rent them for £1.50 from the warden. Nice little cafe next to the car park at the bottom.

Well worth a visit, stunning scenery from the castle. Quite a steep climb so maybe not for people with mobility issues.

Advance booking required. Kidwelly is on a par with the other great castles of Wales. We all get our moments. But if you want a truly medieval moment, catch a glimpse of Kidwelly shrouded in early morning mist. Spine-tingling stuff. So complete and well-preserved it’s a match for any of the great castles of Wales. The displayed opening times are our general pattern. Please check the Cadw website for specific times and days, including closures.
Wonderful afternoon visit to Kidwelly Castle!! A very well preserved monument of Welsh history!! The staff were extremly friendly and informative!! Dogs are very welcome and the staff were kind enough to give our dog treats !! A well stocked gift shop too , containing history books and some lovely gift ideas !!

The estate and Newton hosue are owned and managed by the National Trust. Castle Woods and Dinefwr Castle are owned by the South Wales Wildlife Trust and managed by Cadw. Dinefwr is a beautiful place to escape the rush of modern life and enoy the scents and sounds of nature. Whether you are marvelling at the wonderful panoramic views of the Towyi river from the castle parapets or getting up close to the dragonflies on the Mill Pond, you cant help but fall in love with Dinefwr's Parkland. There are walks to suit all abilities and childrens tracker packs to help families discover and have fun together. Newton House is not a noral National Trust dressed house but instead acts as an exhibition telling the history of times gone by.
