Explore Carmarthenshire: the best days out during your West Wales glamping holiday
Explore Carmarthenshire during your relaxing glamping holiday.
It’s enough to simply relax and soak up the peace and tranquillity of Meidrim Meadows, your luxury glamping retreat in the heart of Carmarthenshire. But if you’re ready to venture beyond your cabin, you’ll find endless opportunities to explore Carmarthenshire.
We may be biased, but we think West Wales is one of the UK’s most rewarding destinations, full of hidden gems, wild beauty, and welcoming local communities. From dramatic coastlines and ancient castles to serene gardens and peaceful walking trails, you’re perfectly placed to discover it all.
The places and attractions below are run by independent local organisations that we personally recommend for their authenticity and charm.
Walking holidays in Carmarthenshire
Ditch the car and explore the network of footpaths right on your doorstep here at Meidrim Meadows that will take you through bluebell woodlands, past iron age forts and into the forests of near Gellywen.
Further afield you can find the Wales Coast Path – Amroth to Pendine is a stunning stretch; soak up the wilderness in Brechfa Forest or explore the Carmarthen Fans.
Marvel at the changing seasons as you wander through the grounds at the many gardens nearby. Our favourites include the National Botanical Gardens of Wales, Aberglasney and Picton Castle.
Beach holidays in Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire
You are spoilt for choice. Just a stone’s throw away from Meidrim Meadows, you can find sandy beaches with shallow water ideal for bathing (Saundersfoot Beach), beach harbours and bustling towns (Tenby), rockpools galore (Wisemen’s Bridge) and beaches ideal for dolphin spotting and boat excursions (Mwnt and New Quay).
Explore the 450-acre grounds of Llanelli Wetland Centre featuring a mosaic of lakes, reedbeds, woods, pools and lagoons and home to some of the world’s rarest ducks, geese, swans, and cranes. Or take in the shimmering lake and a unique peat bog habitat at Llyn Lech Owain Country Park.
History holidays - the best of West Wales
Retrace the footsteps of the writer Dylan Thomas in Laugharne, take in the spectacular views of the Towy Valley from Paxton Tower a Neo-Gothic folly erected in honour of Lord Nelson, or explore the many castles that adorn the Carmarthenshire coastline (Kidwelly Castle, Llansteffan Castle and Dryslwyn Castle).
