Sightseeing

The quaint little town of Newcastle Emlyn is a short (6 minutes) drive away. It has great arts, crafts and antique shops, is a "Fair Trade" town and has a delicatessen, an independant health food shop and several nice cafes and restaurants. The town itself is picturesque, with its pretty clock tower and with a ruined castle with a dragon wood carved seat and river walk it makes it well worth a visit.

If you like riding on steam trains, this is a lovely little trip along the river. There may be an opportunity to stand in the engine room and blow the whistle! The nearest station is located about 25 mins drive away, on the way to Carmarthen.
