Discover Carmarthenshire launches new heritage trails in South West Wales


To help visitors uncover the county’s hidden heritage gems, Discover Carmarthenshire has launched three brand new trails, aimed to offer a ‘heritage light’ overview to be enjoyed by all age groups.

 

The trails are found online at www.discovercarmarthenshire.com  and make it easy to navigate the best sites and attractions of the county’s heritage highlights, giving an informative snapshot summary of each attraction, as well as a selection of audio links with interviews from the experts and tales of the past. The trails are available to view and print out www.discovercarmarthenshire.com/heritage-trail/index.html



The three trails are organised geographically and feature sites such as horticultural heritage spots such as Aberglasney House and Gardens (the house opened to the public for the first time this year), the iconic Museum of Speed at Pendine Sands where Malcolm Campbell first set a new land speed record in 1924, as well as the world’s only Museum showcasing the ancient mode of water transport - the coracle.




The three trails:
1) Central : A gardener’s delight – discover two of the Carmarthenshire’s horticultural hotspots with a dose of heritage thrown in and a visit to a castle with a herd of ancient breed White Park Cattle. Visit Aberglasney House & Gardens one of Wales finest gardens, known as ‘a garden lost in time’, National Botanic Garden of Wales in Llanarthne with its dramatic Norman Foster designed glasshouse and Newton House at Dinefwr Park, filled with 18th century period furniture and rare paintings.


2) South : A trail focusing on pioneers in land speed, aviation and literature as well as a visit to one of the county’s latest private houses to open its impressive art collection to the public. Tour Stradey Castle and see swooping views down to Carmarthen Bay, visit literary legend Dylan Thomas’ Boathouse in his former home town of Laugharne and then race to Pendine Museum of Speed at Pendine Sands to see Babs, the restored car that Godfrey Parry-Thomas clocked 170mph in, in 1926.


3) North West:  An eclectic journey revealing the secrets of the coracle and wool industries as well as an opportunity to relive childhood memories whatever your age.  Learn about the history of coracles at the National Coracle Centre at Cenarth Falls learn about the way they were used to guide the sheep along the river to clean their wool on our audio link: with an interview with Martin Fowler, the museum curator. See the ‘Fleece and Fabric’ exhibition at the National Wool Museum and round up the North West trail by reliving your childhood memories at the West Wales Museum of Childhood, to see toys and games collected from all time periods.

choice of accommodation in detail. Also mentioned is the
Brecon Beacons, the National Wetland Centre in Llanelli,
Aberglasney Gardens and the Boathouse in Laugharne.

Lucy really sells Carmarthenshire as the wonderful place
to holiday that it is and she describes many of the exciting

 Nodweddion Golygydd Cynorthwyol yng Nghaerloyw Echo a'r Dinesydd, cymerodd Lucy Parford taith tri diwrnod i lawr lôn cof wrth ymweld Sir Gaerfyrddin. Y nodwedd ysgrifennodd am ei thaith argraffwyd yn y Gloucester Echo ar ddydd Sadwrn, Mehefin 1, 2013 sydd â chylchrediad o 14,111. Mae hefyd yn rhedeg yn y Dinesydd sydd â chylchrediad o 17,137.

Ysgrifennodd Lucy ddarn gwych sy'n hyrwyddo Sir Gaerfyrddin mewn goleuni cadarnhaol iawn. Mae'n tynnu sylw at nifer o leoedd yn ystod yr erthygl, gan ddisgrifio Beach View Cottage yn Llansteffan, ei dewis o lety yn fanwl. Crybwyll hefyd yn y Bannau Brycheiniog, Canolfan Gwlyptir Genedlaethol yn Llanelli, Gerddi Aberglasney a'r Boathouse yn Nhalacharn.

Mae Lucy mewn gwirionedd yn gwerthu Sir Gaerfyrddin fel y lle gwych i fod ar wyliau, ac mae hi'n disgrifio llawer o'r mannau cyffrous ar gael i deuluoedd, cyplau, cerddwyr cŵn, selogion bwyd a hyd yn oed cariadon ffasiwn. Mae'n dangos sut y mae Sir Gaerfyrddin yn profiad gwyliau gyd-rownd da.
