This area is known as the Three Rivers Estuary of Carmarthen Bay as the rivers Taf, Towy, and Gwendraeth meet and enter the sea here. The town provides a primary school, general store, post office, newsagent, and doctor’s surgery, village hall for events and functions, church, pub, restaurant and cafe, bus services, and railway station on the line from Carmarthen to Swansea. New community centre. The Three Rivers Hotel offers a restaurant and bar and incorporates a gym/fitness centre, spa facilities, and a heated indoor swimming pool (open to the public on a membership basis), as well as a business conference room. There is a sailing club, delightful sandy beaches, and coastal walks with wonderful views, including Llansteffan castle across the bay. Ferryside was named after an ancient ferry route that once crossed the estuary from here to Llansteffan. It grew up as a fishing village, but really developed after the arrival of the railway in the mid- 19th Century. This estuary area has always been well known for its cockle beds and Ferryside was at the centre of the cockling industry in past times. Nowadays commercial cockling is strictly governed. It is a lovely area for bird-watching both in the countryside and along the coast, especially in the winter months when numbers are boosted by arrivals from colder climates to feed in the rich mudflats and salt marshes. The village is connected to the National Cycle Network. This is a region rich in history and wildlife, with gently rolling countryside, golden beaches, romantic medieval castles, and opportunities for walking, riding, fishing, bird-watching, sailing, and golf, and there are numerous places of interest to visit. The ferry, (amphibious boat), has very recently been re-instated to take people across to Llansteffan albeit the Covid pandemic means the facility is suspended. More information can be found on www.carmarthenbayferries.com . Llansteffan is directly across the Towy estuary from Ferryside, but is 16 miles away by car, with two pubs, a boat club, a beautiful sandy beach, and the impressive remains of a 12th Century Norman castle on the headland overlooking the water and enjoying stunning views as far as the Gower Peninsula. This is also an ideal place to enjoy walking, bird- watching, fishing, and sailing. The lovely Scott’s Bay is just around the headland and can be reached along a scenic cliff footpath. St. Anthony’s well, which was said to have healing waters, is on the hilltop above the beach. Beachside, Ferryside News, Carmarthenshire Page 5 of 7 Laugharne is also across the water westerly, situated on the Taf estuary, but 20½ miles distant by car. This distinctive town has its own beach and Norman castle ruins. Laugharne became renowned for being home to the poet Dylan Thomas, who penned “Under Milk Wood” at the Boat House. He is buried in the local churchyard with his wife Caitlin. The town offers a variety of good restaurants and hostelries – including Brown’s Hotel where Dylan Thomas held court. Kidwelly is 3 miles from the property south-easterly, with a primary school, doctor’s surgery, post office, library, small supermarket, newsagent, cafes, pubs, and a railway halt on the West Wales line. This is a small, historic town, believed to date back to c.1115, and dominated by an imposing, well preserved early 12th Century Norman castle, built in the reign of King Henry I, and overlooks the tidal lower reaches of the Gwendraeth Fach river. The town also has a fine Norman church. On the northern outskirts of the town is Kidwelly Museum, displaying machinery and tools used in the former tinplate works (1737 to 1941) and former coal mining and brick manufacturing industries important to the region in bygone times. Kidwelly offers natural coves, woodland, and a nature reserve. There are public footpaths and planned walks around the area and the town is connected to the National Cycle Network. Ffos Las Racecourse & Conference Centre is less than 7 miles or so from the property south-easterly, in a lovely setting near Trimsaran (between Llanelli and Carmarthen), with rural views across the Gwendraeth valley.
