We were able to take a break recently to visit the National Botanic Garden of Wales, about 45 minutes drive away near to Carmarthen. This is offers an amazing day trip for all, not only is there the focal point of the ‘Dome’ with its collection of mediterranean plants and personally I prefer it to the one in Cornwall by the way as less pretentious.
But also parklands with some great walks around the grounds, lakes and over bridges, not forgetting a waterfall and lake overflows, best take a map though as a lot of routes/paths.
After having lunch we had a look around the main thoroughfare up to the cafe/shop and the walled gardens which I can imagine get very busy in the main holiday periods.
