Discover why we’re passionate about walking Carmarthenshire’s incomparable network of 3,000km of public rights of way and richly varied landscapes - the best of Carmarthenshire’s spectacular scenery cannot be seen from metalled roads, and many places of interest can only be reached on foot.  Discover the haunts of Merlin, King Arthur´s magician; of Twm Siô
n Cati, the Welsh Robin Hood; and the Lady of the Lake and her descendants the Physicians of Myddfai. Share our delight in gardens, castles and Carmarthenshire´s rich heritage of chapels; wild flowers, and the elegant red kite, the ´bird of Wales´, saved from the brink of loss; prehistoric and Roman sites, National Trust properties; Dylan Thomas country; sites of ancient battles; locally produced artisan food; the Welsh woollen industry; male voice choirs, traditional dancing; village agricultural shows and much more.

Carmarthenshire - a deeply rural and undiscovered county.  Parts are very remote, with hills rising to over 2,500 feet.  The 50+ mile coastline is lovely, with some stunning beaches and glorious views across Carmarthen Bay and estuaries.  Scenic river valleys; green farmed landscapes; ancient woodland; extensive forests; small family farms.  Carmarthenshire is beautiful in winter, and its mild climate makes for enjoyable walking all year round.

An magical sight greets the walker here in late January and early February - sheets of snowdrops stretching from the path through the wood down to the stream and along the bottom of the valley, looking from above like a fresh sprinkling of snow.

The river Towy is tidal beyond Carmarthen. It is both a Site of Special Scientific Interest and a Special Area of Conservation. A public footpath included in the Carmarthen County Walks runs on the left (north) side of the river. The youngest member of our family has been told that he is the only Englishman to have passed under Carmarthen Bridge in a coracle apart from Prince Charles!

Ragwort is a beautiful plant but dangerous if allowed to grow in pasture. Animals can't recognise it in hay and when eaten, it gradually destroys the liver over a period of months. Ironically its specific name is for the patron saint of horses, St James - it is said to come into flower on the saint's day, 25 July.

The upper walled garden, designed by Penelope Hobhouse, is seen here at the peak of its seasonal growth in early autumn. The mansion is a Grade II* listed building with early elements, but externally it appears as a three-storey house dating from the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
