Itinerary 2

Millennium Coastal Park, Llanelli

10am
The Millennium Coastal Park winner of the UK National Lottery’s ‘Amazing Spaces Award’ is the biggest land regeneration project ever undertaken in Wales. 22km of coastline has been redeveloped and transformed from its industrial past to create a park with a stunning array of visitor attractions and wildlife habitats and is open all year round. The park strings together activities and attractions by a continuous traffic free cycleway and footpath. It is also home to the first Jack Nicklaus golf course in Wales. Let your senses guide your visit within the park.

Lunch can be eaten at the Millenium Coastal Park’s Flanagans Coastline Cafe before popping into Llanelli, the largest town in Carmarthenshire that enjoys the same relaxing pace of life as many smaller seaside resorts. Wonder around one of the friendliest shopping centres or stroll around Parc Howard Museum and Art Gallery that holds a collection of local paintings and 19th Century local pottery, all surrounded by elegant gardens with views of the sea.
