Local food and drink
Carmarthenshire is predominantly an agricultural county which produces some fine produce. While you are here why don't you go to one of the local farmer's or produce markets?
Carmarthen and Llanelli both have large local produce markets.
Within 10 minutes of Cynefin there are two very good farm shops. Our particular favourite is Burns Farm Shop at Parc y Bocs Farm, Kidwelly which offers home grown vegetables, eggs and meat from their ancient Cattle of Wales herd. While you are there why don't you taste some of their home cooked brunches/lunches made with homegrown produce. There is a children's play area and animals such as alpacas and chickens to see and feed.
​
Llanelly House, one of the finest Georgian houses in Wales, has a lovely tea room for lunches and afternoon teas, serving traditional Welsh fare. Why not book a tour of the house at the same time.
​
Or why not try one of the Food Trails - for a 'foodie' day out try Llandeilo and the Towy valley with its small specialist shops and eateries.
