Just stopped by quickly on our way through with our daughter and so thrilled that we took the time to find this little studio - Helen and her partner were so welcoming, and our daughter loved hearing Helen talk to her about painting and drawing - even having a chance to get close up to one of Helen's current projects! Walked away from the studio with a lovely little print and a colouring book for Maisey to get her teeth into - will definitely be looking to buy more art soon, as standing in this studio surrounded by so much colour made us feel so happy - a must see if you're passing through :)

Llandovery Museum  & Visitor Gateway

Reviewed By John5550 - Billingshurst, United Kingdom

Located near to the town's central car park, this small museum and visitor centre is well worth a short amount of your time. While the information and exhibits may be what you would expect from this type of resource, it is the staff and volunteers who make calling in worthwhile. This is a dog-friendly stop.

Carmarthenshire Museum

Our exciting news is that the museum’s roof is being repaired, but we have had to close to the public for about 12 months. We would like to apologise for any disappointment which this may cause and we do look forward to welcoming you again early in 2021. The grounds remain open to the public and the Tywi Gateway Trust will continue to provide opportunities for visitors and volunteers as it restores the park and walled kitchen garden.

Dylan Thomas Boathouse

The poet's former home is now a museum dedicated to his life and work.

Reviewed By Aimco1998

Beautiful place on the coast 12 miles from Carmarthen . A must for all fans of Welsh literary genius Dylan Thomas. The boathouse is a fantastic tribute to the man full of pictures memorabilia and handwritten letters from Dylan there is also a fantastic documentary about his life. The boathouse and writing shed are a short walk from the stunning castle.His grave iis in St Martins Church as you enter the town and you must visit Browns Hotel Dylan’s favourite pub
