We’ll walk through Llandeilo into Dinefwr Park, making our way through the parkland. 

We will explore the parkland which has the famous Dinefwr White Park Cattle

which are often in front of the mansion of the Lords of Dynevor, now owned by the National Trust.

The paths through the parkland will lead us towards Castle Wood (Coed y Castell), owned by the Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales. 

This woodland will be full of Bluebells, so bring your camera.

We’ll have a tea stop just below the ancient Dinefwr Castle.  From this high vantage point, we will have great views along the Towy Valley. 

We’ll descend to the abandoned old church of Llandyfeisant then ascend through more Bluebell woodland to reach Penlan Park.  Here we will have great views over the town and surrounding hills.
