Welcome to Llandeilo

The Mayor, Councillors and people of Llandeilo extend to you a very warm welcome to our historic market town.

About Llandeilo

Llandeilo is a small, but thriving, market town in Carmarthenshire, situated on the edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park. It is a popular home for people who work elsewhere and also an area that attracts many tourists and holidaymakers. It is located within easy reach of the hills and the coast, the Heart of Wales railway line and the M4 motorway.

The community of about 2000 residents is well served with small friendly shops and enjoys excellent services provided by the health centre, primary and secondary schools, library, churches, chapels, fire, ambulance and police stations and, of course, the Town Council.

This web site is the official site of Llandeilo Fawr Town Council and is essentially a notice board for Council business matters. However it is intended to include information on our town’s history, our heritage and other local organisations. We hope it will be a first stop for visitors and people thinking of moving into the area, as well as for locals wanting to find out what’s going on.

10 things you must do when you come to Llandeilo:

• Walk through Castle Woods Nature Reserve to ancient Dinefwr Castle, perched on a crag with tremendous views along the valley of the river Towy.

• Shop for clothes, gifts and quality goods in our fine small, individual shops and galleries – no mass-market shopping malls here!

• Visit Dinefwr Park and Newton House, a National Trust property, with white cattle, lake and deer park.

• Stop for morning coffee or afternoon tea in the Cawdor Hotel or one of the pleasant cafes.

• Hunt for bargains among the antiques and collectables in the Antiques Market or the monthly auctions.

• Eat local specialities like Welsh lamb or salmon in one of the many pubs and restaurants.

• Go up to Penlan Park bandstand for fine views over the rooftops.

• Walk down to the Kings Bridge, a swinging foot bridge over the river, and wander among the river meadows with a chance to see herons, ducks, martins and even kingfishers or otters if you are lucky.

• Enjoy the range of good live music in local pubs and venues, especially at festival time.

• Just wander around, soaking up the relaxed atmosphere and enjoying the beautiful Georgian buildings.
