Three villages set in the beautiful Carmarthenshire countryside, in the west of the National Park.
Llangadog is situated in the heart of the Towy Valley half way between Llandeilo and Llandovery and is surrounded by beautiful rolling hills and pasture with stunning views towards the Black Mountain. The village is well served by places to stay, eat and drink.
Capel Gwynfe is a small village about 3 miles to the south of Llangadog with a picturesque church dating from 1898. It was voted Village of the Year for Carmarthenshire in 2004.
Bethlehem village is to the south of Llangadog perched on the hillside overlooking the Towy flood plain. Bethlehem Post Office is renowned for franking cards at Christmas time and thousands of people each year send their cards to be stamped with the Bethlehem post mark. Behind the village is Garn Goch, the site of an impressive Iron Age Hill fort.
