common features. They were both part of the ancient Welsh Kingdom of
Deheubarth and possess numerous ruined castles. Both have much superb,
varied and unspoiled countryside that makes them a paradise for walkers.

has some of the most spectacular coastal scenery and finest stretches
of coast path in Britain. Carmarthenshire is noted for its rolling
hills, wide river valleys and a coastline of long sandy beaches fringing
Carmarthen Bay, broken into the combined estuaries of the Gwendraeth,
Towey and Taf Rivers.
