We love this part of Wales, which combines beautiful countryside, clear skies, peace and tranquility. While you feel far from crowds, it is easy to get to, being a short drive from the A40 and nearby Llandovery (with supermarket, butcher, organic shop, pubs, and cafes) It is also well placed to visit the Welsh coast - to the south and west, castles, the Brecon and Cambrian mountains, Hay-on-Wye, the Gardens of Carmarthenshire, and many other attractions.
It is a farming community where both Welsh and English are heard. Welsh learners are made welcome too.
The area has a fascinating history in the 'Physicians of Myddfai' and the legend of the 'Lady of the Lake'. The local village hall has lots of information about the area, and friendly volunteers in the cafe/craft shop.
For those that want a bit of city life, Swansea is 1 & Cardiff 1.25 hours. There are cinemas in Carmarthen, Brynamman and Brecon. Llandeilo with nice shops, cafes, galleries is 25 minutes away.
