Overview

A gentle stroll through Coed y Castell, adjacent to Dinefwr Park. 
(These woods are owned by the Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales).

There will be beautiful views overlooking the town of Llandeilo. 

We’ll visit the Bluebell woods, so bring your camera, as hopefully we’ll get some great photographs!

Lunch will be just below the castle entrance where there is a wonderful panorama along the Towy Valley. 

After lunch, we will begin our return journey, passing the abandoned old church of Llandyfeisant on the way.  

After the walk, you will be able to explore Llandeilo.
