The Location

Samaria is nestled in the most beautiful Carmarthenshire countryside, sandwiched between the stunning Tywi Valley and the rural chic of Llandeilo (5.5 miles). The M4 at Cross hands is 6.4 miles.

Carmarthen is 12 miles to the West and Swansea is 24 miles to the South.

The handsome market town of Llandeilo fuses farming feet with country chic. Sat atop a hill overlooking the River Tywi, its narrow streets and pastel-painted Georgian houses sweep down to the impressive single-arch stone bridge below. It is little wonder Llandeilo was nominated by The Sunday Times as one of the best places to live in Wales.

Two very different but equally appealing gardens compete for your attention in this part of Carmarthenshire:

The National Botanic Garden of Wales is a 560-acre complex that opened in 2000, with a range of themed gardens and the world’s largest single-span glasshouse among its attractions. If you visit ‘Pi’, a large contemporary sculpture in the gardens, you’ll get to see another of our historical gems nearby, Paxton’s Tower. The Neo-Gothic folly was built in honour of Lord Nelson and ‘Pi’ was designed specifically as the perfect frame for it.

Just minutes away, but a world apart in comparison, you’d be forgiven for thinking you’d wandered onto the set of a period drama at Aberglasney Gardens. Its formal walled gardens date from Elizabethan times with a unique cloister garden at its heart.

Wales has more castles per square mile than any other country in the world and this corner of Carmarthenshire has more than its fair share.

Just outside Llandeilo, Dinefwr Castle occupies a significant place in Welsh history. It’s also the setting of Meinir’s choice for a country walk. The fortress, perched on a hilltop overlooking the Tywi Valley, was where The Lord Rhys held court in the 12th century and influenced decisions about Wales. The 800-acre National Trust estate on which the castle sits is also home to 17th-century Newton House, Wales’ first parkland National Nature Reserve (nnr) and an 18th-century landscape park, enclosing a medieval deer park.

Approximately 5 miles south-east of Llandeilo, you’ll encounter the imposing ruins of Carreg Cennen Castle. We’re certain you’ll struggle to find a castle any more dramatic than this. Perched on a 90-metre limestone crag, Carreg Cennen’s silhouette dominates the skyline for miles around. It’s said that Urien, one of King Arthur’s knights, built it as his fortress. The combination of its stunning location, rich history and connection to the legend of Merlin means Carreg Cennen regularly features on lists of the most romantic places in Wales.
