Llanelli is a coastal town with a strong Welsh identity, perched on the Loughor estuary and backed by rolling Carmarthenshire countryside. It's a place where sport, language and community go hand in hand, with a proud industrial past and a softer, seaside edge. You'll hear plenty of Welsh spoken on the high street, see Scarlets rugby shirts everywhere you go, and probably end up chatting to someone whether you mean to or not. It's friendly, unpretentious and full of character, with more going on than first meets the eye.

The town has a long and layered history. It began life as a small settlement and started to grow during the 18th and 19th centuries, becoming a hub for coal mining, tinplate production and heavy industry. At one point, Llanelli was the tinplate capital of the world, and its growth was shaped by both Welsh culture and working-class grit. While much of that industry has faded, the town has reimagined itself with new developments, leisure, tourism and a strong cultural identity. The population is around 42,000 (built-up area), making it one of the largest towns in Wales, and it still plays a central role in west Wales life.

There's plenty to see and do in and around Llanelli. The Millennium Coastal Path is a big draw—miles of cycle and walking paths with views across to the Gower and plenty of fresh sea air. Parc y Scarlets, home of the Scarlets rugby team, is a modern stadium with a huge local following. Llanelly House is a beautifully restored Georgian townhouse and café that offers a glimpse into the town's past. WWT Llanelli Wetland Centre is just on the edge of town and a great spot for nature lovers and families. National Trust properties nearby include Dinefwr Park and Newton House up near Llandeilo—full of history and surrounded by deer parkland. The ruins of Kidwelly Castle, though not National Trust or English Heritage, are just down the road and well worth a visit for the views alone.

Wider Dyfed is packed with hidden gems, from rolling hills to wide beaches and historic towns. Carmarthen, often claimed as the oldest town in Wales, has markets, Roman ruins and a growing arts scene. Laugharne, with its Dylan Thomas links and dreamy estuary views, is a perfect stop for a slower afternoon. Pembrokeshire offers stunning coastline and the protected beauty of the National Park, with places like Tenby, Barafundle and St Davids drawing in visitors year-round. Inland, the Towy Valley runs deep with castles, gardens and green pastures. It's a county that rewards slow travel and back-road exploring, with something new around nearly every corner.

Getting to Llanelli is pretty straightforward. The town is served by the A4138 which links to the M4, giving good road access to Swansea, Cardiff and beyond. Llanelli railway station sits on the West Wales Line, with direct trains to Swansea, Cardiff and Manchester, plus services towards Carmarthen and Pembroke Dock. Local buses cover the town and surrounding villages. Cardiff Airport is the closest major airport, just over an hour's drive away. For local journeys, the town's not too spread out—easy enough to get around on foot or by bike, especially near the coast.

Dyfed as a historic county brings together Carmarthenshire, Pembrokeshire and Ceredigion, covering a broad stretch of west Wales. It's known for its dramatic coastline, hill farms, castles and deep-rooted Welsh culture. While the old county no longer exists in the formal sense, the name Dyfed still pops up here and there, especially in postal addresses and regional identity. Across the area you'll find a mix of market towns, coastal villages and rural communities, each with its own pace and personality. It's a part of Wales that's deeply connected to the land, language and history—with a lot of pride and not much need to shout about it.
