Location
Honey Corse Farm is situated near the coast only about two miles from the pretty coastal castle town of Laugharne, in the historic county of Carmarthenshire.

Laugharne is famous for being the home of the renowned Welsh poet Dylan Thomas who lived in the town from 1949 until 1953. He once said of the town that “there is nowhere like it anywhere at all” and described it as “a timeless, mild, beguiling island of a town”. The town enjoys excellent fine dining in the local restaurants, pubs and cafes that has put the town on the culinary map of Wales. The town is perfect for those that enjoy the outdoors with the famous castle overlooking the estuary together with miles of scenic trails for walking and cycling.

The town is also well connected to local towns and further afield with the larger shopping town of Carmarthen and the A48 M4 link road only about 13 miles to the north-east with national railway services and fast road connections to south Wales (Swansea about 40 miles, Cardiff about 82 miles) the Severn Bridge and into England.

Heading west along the coast from the farm, the pretty coastal resort of Pendine is also only about five miles away with its renowned eight mile sandy beach, home of the world land speed record.
