Staying in Carmarthenshire

Carmarthenshire is a recognised tourist destination and as such is well served with all types of accommodation, including B&Bs, hotels, self catering options and many caravan, camping and even glamping sites. The seaside resorts are very popular and tend to book up early for the main school holiday weeks. Away from the main towns, accommodation is less frequent, particularly in the mountainous areas, where a little forward planning is advised.

Looking north along Cwm Lliedi Reservoir (Walk 21)

For Walks 1–4, ‘In and around the Teifi Valley’, Newcastle Emlyn would be a suitable base to stay as it has a good range of accommodation, along with Llandysul. For Walks 5–8, ‘Castles, gardens and forests’, either Carmarthen or Llandeilo would be suitable centres. Llandovery has the most diverse range of accommodation for Walks 9–12 ‘The Cambrians of Carmarthenshire’, and it would also serve as a good base for the Walks 13–18, ‘The high mountains of Y Mynydd Du’, along with Llandeilo and the towns and villages in the Amman Valley to the south. The area containing Walks 19–23, ‘History and heritage’, provides the largest choice of places to stay, with Llanelli, Burry Port, Pembrey, Kidwelly and Ferryside all having a range of accommodation providers. Finally, Walks 24–30, ‘Dylan Thomas Country’ are also well served with Llansteffan, Laugharne, Pendine and St Clears being good bases.
