Carmarthenshire's Natural Beauty

Llyn y Fan Fach

The true beauty of Carmarthenshire lays in its simplicity and wealth of natural assets.

Until recently, Carmarthenshire, the Garden of Wales, had been overlooked as a place of outstanding natural beauty but now more and more visitors are waking up to all it has to offer.

Black Mountain

The Brecon Beacons National Park is one of our proudest possessions. The western end of the Beacons, which falls within south-east of the county, is a hidden gem as it is home to many of the least explored sections of the national park.

Up here you’ll find the brooding peak of the Black Mountain, part of the Fforest Fawr Geopark. It’s remote and atmospheric, untamed and exciting yet on its doorstep you will discover gentle lakes, waterfalls and the green, green grass.

Abergorlech Forest Walk

Carmarthenshire is full of gorgeous green spaces - forests, woodlands and country. Soak up the coastal beauty of Carmarthen Bay, a hive of beaches, coves and endless stretches of sand.

Nature-lovers are in seventh heaven here. Carmarthenshire is home to a diverse range of wildlife and many sites of international importance are open to the public.

Check out the nature reserve at Carmel Woods with its intriguing disappearing pool. Fed only by underground water, it vanishes in the summer!
