Burry Port Harbour

Highlight • Viewpoint

Burry Port's harbour is tide-restricted and fascinating to see when it's all but dry at low tide. The marina lies to the east of Pembrey Country Park and is on the Millennium Coastal Path and Wales Coast Path.

This seaside town also has a fascinating piece of history. In 1928, Amelia Earhart became the first woman to fly across the Atlantic, landing here on the water, at Burry Port.

Kidwelly Castle

Highlight • Historical Site

Lying on the River Gwendraeth above Carmarthen Bay Kidwelly is a town in Carmarthenshire boasting a castle dating back to 1106.

Kidwelly Castle

Highlight • Historical Site

The memorial at the Castle celebrates Gwenllian, one of Wales's greatest heroines. In 1136 she led a Welsh army against Marcher lord Maurice de Londres. The battle took place nearby and despite her bravery Gwenllian was captured and beheaded.

Gwenllian was a princess by birth and marriage. Her husband, Gruffudd ap Rhys, was prince of Deheubarth; her father, Gruffudd ap Cynan, Prince of Gwynedd.

King Henry I died in 1135. With no heir, England was left in turmoil. Sensing the chance to win back lands, the Welsh launched a campaign against Anglo Norman rule. Gruffudd travelled to Gwynedd to gather support. With her husband away, Gwenllian led her doomed army against a Norman counter attack.

Gwenllian and Gruffudd's greatest legacy was their youngest son, The Lord Rhys, who rose to become the most important Welsh ruler of the time.
