A lovely area to spend Easter - beautiful scenery and a hotel well placed for exploring Camarthen as this hotel is within 1 mile (2 km) of Carmarthen Castle and Picton Monument.
Carmarthen is reputed to be the birthplace of the legendary wizard Merlin and has the distinction of being Wales oldest town. It stands on a bluff above the River Towy which runs from the Black Mountains down into Carmarthen Bay.
