10 Great Places to Visit with dogs

1. Pembrey Country Park

2. Swiss Valley Cycle Path

The Swiss Valley Cycle Path is accessed via the recreation area at the back of the property.  Route 47 cycle path stretches 10.8 traffic free miles in total.  Starting at Cross Hands and travelling through Tumble and on to Llanelli where it joins the Millennium Coastal Path.

3. Mynydd Mawr Country Park

Mynydd Mawr is within walking distance of the property.  This former colliery has been regenerated as a mix of broadleaf woodland and grassland providing a haven for wildlife and dog walkers alike.

4. Llyn Llech Owain Country Park 

Llyn Llech Owain Country Park is set in 180 acres providing woodland walks and cycle tracks.  At the heart of the park is the lake surrounded by peat bog. A board walk allows a safe route around the lake.  Other facilities include a children’s play area, cafe and toilets.

5. Carmel Quarry

Follow the 2 kilometre Quarry Trail to the top for spectacular views of the surrounding countryside and back down to the only turlough in Britain. A turlough is a seasonal lake, with no streams running in or out, the lake is fed by water held in the limestone below.  As the water level rises in winter the lake fills and it disappears again in most summers.

6. Cwm Rhaeadr

Cwm Rhaeadr or Valley of the Waterfalls near Cilycwm has a range of walking, mountain biking and horse riding routes. Our favourite is to follow the river to the base of the waterfall then take the smaller track to climb up to take a closer look.  Good footwear and a good level of fitness is essential.

7.Dinefwr

National Trust Dinefwr is an 800 acre estate on the edge of the beautiful small town of Llandeilo. Explore the parkland walks and take the track through the woods to Dinefwr castle and St Tyfi’s Church. 

8. National Botanic Garden of Wales

National Botanic Garden of Wales.  Combine a walk with your dogs with a visit to Wales’ National Botanic Garden.  Every Monday and Friday and one designated weekend a month is doggy day. Book your stay at 94 High Street direct with us and receive complimentary tickets to the gardens for all the members of your party!

9. Usk Resevoir

Usk reservoir is surrounded by forestry and moorland. An 8km walking and cycling trail makes its way around the reservoir. Take a picnic to enjoy on one of the pebble beaches along the way.
