About Carmarthenshire

Carmarthenshire is the largest county in Wales, with a population of approximately 170,000, 55% of whom are Welsh speakers. The surface generally is upland and mountainous. Fforest Fawr and Black Mountain extend into the east of the county and the Cambrian Mountains into the north. The south coast contains many fishing villages and sandy beaches. The highest point is Carmarthen Fan, 2,525 feet (770 m).

The main rivers are the Tywi, the Loughor (which forms the eastern boundary with Glamorgan), and the Gwendraeth Fawr. The principal industries are agriculture, forestry, fishing and tourism.



Carreg Cennen Castle

Carreg Cennen Castle

One of the most spectacularly sited Welsh castles is Carreg Cennen, located north of Swansea, a few miles south-east of Llandeilo on a minor road off the A483. Spell-binding views are waiting to be experienced from the sharp hilltop upon which the castle sits. Indeed, Carreg Cennen dominates its surroundings, and seems out of place in the mountainous farming terrain which it commands. The hedgerows along the minor approach road initially obscure views of the site, but suddenly the grey stone fortress springs into your line of sight, enticing you to hurry onwards.

 

 

Dolaucothi Gold Mines

Dolaucothi Gold Mines

Located in the picturesque Cothi Valley in rural Carmarthenshire is one of the Trust's most unusual places to visit, a site of industry dating back almost 2000 years. Set amid wooded hillsides, the Dolaucothi Gold Mines comprise pits, adits, mine entrances, galleries, spoil heaps, leats, channels, tanks, tracks, building footings, inclines, stopes and shafts covering an area of approximately 2 square kilometres. Locals have been aware of the historical importance of this industrial landscape since the 18th century, but it was only in the 1930s that Dolaucothi's full age was realised.
