Visitors flock to Carmarthenshire as Temperatures soar

With temperatures approaching 30C over the past few weeks it’s no wonder visitors have been flocking in their thousands to the 80 miles of Carmarthenshire coastline famous for having two of the largest beaches in the UK. Businesses in Carmarthenshire have been reporting booming trade as a result of the tropical temperatures and with this being the start of summer school holidays it is hoped that it continues throughout August.Holiday parks from Loughor to Pendine have been reporting increased sales compared to this time last year Visitor to the county Ken Peacock who is staying at Gateway Holiday Park in Llanelli said ‘I live near Heathrow so I could be in the Costa Del Sol quicker than Costa Del Carmarthenshire but we love it here!. There is so much to do for the kids and the weather means we can make the most out of the beaches and parks’ Tourism officer Elinos Walters said ‘People are deciding not to travel abroad as they have everything they need here on your doorstep. Sand, sea and most importantly sun. Top attractions such as the Millennium Coastal Park and Pembrey Park and Beach have welcomed thousands of visitors in the last 2 weeks and we are hoping this continues’. 2013 tourism figures show the value of tourism in Carmarthenshire reaching over a third of a billion pounds to the local economy making it one of the top three industries. This compares to the 1999 figures which were approx £141 million. With over 6,000 people employed in the sector with many more indirectly employed, Carmarthenshire is now one of the largest visitor areas in Wales.

The Twizy Due to Make its Debut in Llandovery

A few weeks ago, I wrote a blog about ‘Tracy’ the Twizy Eco Car and a trip around Brecon. From August 5th, the Eco Car is coming to Llandovery. The state of the art electric car will be available to hire by the day and will be based at The Level Crossing for two weeks.

The Level Crossing is a community owned bunkhouse, bistro, and bar located next to Llandovery railway station. The new venture is aimed at walkers and cyclists for who there is secure storage and washing facilities for mountain bikes. It is based on the doorstep of the Western Brecon Beacons and the Cambrian Mountains; there is something for everyone to enjoy here- Mountains, lakes, castles, gardens and market towns.

This innovative little car provides a ‘green’ springboard for exploring the beautiful and stunning area, including the Black Mountain and could benefit tourism in Carmarthenshire greatly, now and in the future as more and more people are becoming conscience over the environmental impact of their holiday choices. More tourists are beginning to embrace sustainable holidays.

Mae'r groesfan wastad yn eiddo i'r gymuned, efo bynciau, bistro a bar wedi ei lleoli nesaf at orsaf reilffordd Llanymddyfri. Mae'r fenter newydd wedi ei anelu at gerddwyr a beicwyr ar gyfer pwy mae storio diogel a chyfleusterau ymolchi ar gyfer beiciau mynydd. Mae'n seiliedig ar y stepen drws o Fannau Brycheiniog a Mynyddoedd Cambria, mae rhywbeth i bawb ei fwynhau gyda mynyddoedd, llynnoedd, cestyll, gerddi a threfi marchnad.

Mae'r car bach arloesol yn darparu sbringfwrdd 'gwyrdd' ar gyfer archwilio'r ardal hardd a thrawiadol, gan gynnwys y Mynydd Du ac a allai twristiaeth elwa yn fawr yn Sir Gaerfyrddin, yn awr ac yn y dyfodol wrth i fwy a mwy o bobl dod yn gydwybodol am effaith amgylcheddol eu dewisiadau gwyliau.

Tourism Videos Released

Carmarthenshire County Council has commissioned a new set of tourism videos that will be available for all to see.

Videos promoting Laugharne, Llandovery, Llandeilo and the food trails are already available on Discover Carmarthenshire's YouTube channel. A family day out in Llanelli is currently being edited, along with Pembrey Country Park and Dolaucothi/Red Kite Feeding Centre being filmed next week.

The aim of the set of videos is to physically show visitors to the Carmarthenshire area what we have to offer. The videos give visitors a guided tour of places of interest to visit, stay or eat while spending time in the areas. Sometimes seeing imagery and feeling like you're involved in part of a tour while watching the videos can be more convincing to attract more tourists as you will already have familiarized yourself with the location and that is our hope with these videos.

We have so much here to offer in Carmarthenshire and the videos will give visitors the opportunity to decide in advance which area will suit them best.

Brecon in a Twizy

A new green initiative has been launched in the Brecon Beacons. The Eco Travel Network http://www.ecotravelnetwork.co.uk  was established by local researchers and business owners to offer a pool of electric vehicles for visitors who want to explore the region while keeping their carbon footprint low. These Renault Twizys carry two people and run on batteries that can be topped up at a number of local charging points.

Really delighted that Rough Guides wanted to cover our area on their website as more people are becoming conscience over the environmental impact of their holiday choices and more  tourists embrace sustainable holidays and staycations.

Rachel picked up ‘Tracy’ the Twizy from Westview Guesthouse near Hay-On-Wye. Driven at 30mph, Tracy can do 45 miles in winter and over 50 in the summer. Tracy has no windows and is perfect for the current weather.

Rachel drove the Twizy to the Brecon Cathedral, Llandovery, Myddfai Community Hall and Visitor Centre, Dolaucothi Gold Mines, Penderyn Distillery and The Felin Fach Griffin, re-charging Tracy at each location, ready to move onto the next.

For more information on sustainable holidays and staycations, contact: marketing@carmarthenshire.gov.uk

  

Mae menter gwyrdd newydd wedi cael ei lansio ym Mannau Brycheiniog. Mae'r Rhwydwaith Teithio Eco a Sefydlwyd gan ymchwilwyr lleol a pherchnogion busnes i gynnig cronfa o gerbydau trydan ar gyfer ymwelwyr sydd eisiau archwilio y rhanbarth tra'n cadw eu hôl troed carbon yn isel. Mae'r Renault Twizy’s yn cario dau o fobol ac yn rhedeg ar fatris y gellir eu pennau i fyny mewn nifer o fannau codi tâl lleol.

Mae mwy o bobl yn dod yn gydwybod am effaith amgylcheddol eu dewisiadau gwyliau ac wrth i fwy o dwristiaid cynnwys gwyliau a staycations cynaliadwy, mentrau gwyrdd yn neidio i fyny ar draws y Bannau Brycheiniog.

Cododd Rachel ei cerbyd 'Tracy' y Twizy o WESTVIEW Guesthouse ger Gelli Gandryll. Os Gyrru’r ar 30mya, gall Tracy wneud 45 milltir yn y gaeaf a dros 50 yn yr haf. Does dim ffenestri gan Tracy syn gwneud hi yn berffaith ar gyfer y tywydd braf ar hyn o bryd.

Gyrrodd Rachel y Twizy i’r Eglwys Gadeiriol yn Aberhonddu, ac ymlaen i Llanymddyfri, Neuadd Gymunedol a Chanolfan Ymwelwyr Myddfai, Mwyngloddiau Aur Doloucothi, Distyllfa Penderyn a Felin Fach Griffin, cafodd Tracy ail-godi tâl ym mhob lleoliad, yn barod i symud ymlaen i'r nesaf.

 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.
