The small market town of Llanelli is perched on the banks of the beautiful Loughor Estuary, a setting which provides visitors with mesmerising vistas and incredible sunsets. For the best views, visit the Millennium Coastal Park, a transformed industrial zone where pathways and cycle lanes meander through a string of ecosystems, including beaches, parkland and wetlands.

For an up-close view of the wildlife that inhabits these beautiful landscapes, explore the Llanelli Wetland Centre, a series of lagoons that attracts thousands of migrating birds. The kids can go bug hunting, pond dipping and even meet Caribbean flamingos!

In Llanelli itself, you’ll find an assortment of museums, including Llanelly House and Parc Howard Museum and Art Gallery. There are some excellent shopping opportunities too, with a good number of independent shops, a thriving traditional market hall and a selection of high street stores in the St Elli Shopping Centre.
