Swansea Ramblers


Llandeilo Bluebells

The afternoon walk

Castle Wood

4th May 2024

Leader: Andrew Morgan




Swansea Ramblers travelled to Llandeilo for two Bluebell walks.   In the morning we visited Coed Tregib where we saw a wonderful display of Bluebells.   We then returned to the centre of Llandeilo where some of the morning walkers left to explore the town while the rest of us were joined by the afternoon walkers.

We followed paths that led us to the entrance for Dinefwr Park.   We walked through the parkland and crossed over into Castle Wood which is owned by The Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales.

Here we saw more Bluebells then stopped beneath the castle for a coffee break.   We then descended through another section of the Bluebell woodland before making our way past Llandyfeisant Church.

Our journey took us high above Llandeilo into Penlan Park where we had fabulous views of the area.   We then returned to Llandeilo and had refreshments in the Beer Garden of The White Horse Inn.   



Swansea Ramblers offer a range of walks for most abilities.

Try an easy walk of 2-3 hours or our longer strenuous mountain walks for the experienced walker.

Maybe you'd like to explore walking for the first time with a friendly group of people?

It won't cost you anything to come along and see if walking is for you.
You'll be very welcome to join us for three free walks.

The drainage here has been improved so the path is a bit drier!

But we cannot go near the house without paying an entrance fee

Which is worth visiting on another day

Instead we make our way to the old castle in the Wildlife Trust woods
