The National Wetlands Centre Wales

Located on the Ramsar site of the Burry Inlet, WWT's innovative centre at Llanelli is at the frontend of wetland conservation in Wales. Its newest feature is the Millennium Wetland complex, home to wildlife as diverse as dragonfly and Little Egret.

Pen-Y-Fan, Llanelli

The area of Pen-Y-Fan used to be a large estate of council houses, however most of the houses are today owned by their occupiers.

Llandilo Junction

This is the junction where the Heart of Wales line departs from the West Wales Line. It's obvious from the rust on the left line that this railway is predominantly run as a single track line. Some goods traffic also travels along this line, branching off just south of Pontardulais. In the distance, just after the junction, some strange arches have recently been constructed. This turned out to be a prefabricated tunnel, which presumably was lifted over the line when it wasn't being used! SS5398 : New tunnel at Llandilo Junction The spelling of the junction's name is probably a throwback from when welsh spellings were approximated to English; it should probably be Llandeilo junction, but Llandilo is the spelling in not only ancient and modern maps but also in railway documentation.

Pointless kissing gate

There were three identical kissing kates is sequence along the main path here. today, they seem utterly pointless, but there was some evidence of some form of boundary there at one time. Years ago, I'm told that this area was known as Rocky Path - but these days the path is paved and a recognised cycle route.

Footbridge over the West Wales railway line

With a children's park and several public footpaths converging nearby, you get the impression they REALLY don't want people trespassing on the railway line around here.

New tunnel at Llandilo Junction

Construction of a prefabricated bridge/tunnel for a new road bypass. A ramp can now be seen on both sides of the arches where the road will eventually traverse the railway. This is Llandilo junction (misspelling is intentional as that's its name), the actual start of the Heart of Wales line.

New stadium, under construction

Currently being built, this is the construction site for the new rugby stadium in the Trostre area of Llanelli. Soon to be the new home for the Llanelli Scarlets.

Park near Bigyn School

Superb views over Llanelli. My mother was a pupil at the old Victorian Bigyn school in the late 40's early 50's and remembers the landscape below being very different. Everywhere you looked there were industrial chimney stacks to remind you of what an industrial town looked like. Times change.

Parc y Scarlets

This is the brand new stadium, Parc Y Scarlets, the new home for The Scarlets rugby team and Llanelli's Rugby Football Team. Taken only 4 days before the first match is to be played there against Cardiff RFC. Unlike most modern new stadiums, the management resisted corporate sponsorship in naming the stadium, electing to name the stadium after Llanelli RFC's nickname. The Scarlets and Llanelli Rugby Football Club are now 2 distinct teams, though they both bear the same historic root.

Down Prendergast Street

Running parallel with Bigyn Hill. Numbers 8 to 14 visible on the left. Stradey Woods visible in the far distance. The name Prendergast is Flemish in origin and is believed to come from the 'lost' Norman/Flemish village of Brontegeest. It came to Britain with a follower of Duke William after the conquest who was given lands near Haverfordwest.

New development at Parc Trostre

M+S - one of many big names that have followed the national trend of vacating the town centres without a backward glance. Parc Trostre is the new Llanelli. Luckily the 'old' Llanelli seems to be holding strong, but has definitely acquired a slightly different feel since the exodus took hold.

Old works access road

This road, now a dead end used to be the main access road to the nearby Corus (then British Steel) works. Road access is now provided from a nearby roundabout where the new road joins this one just south of the recent bypass road that interrupted the original route. A foot bridge under the bypass still provides pedestrian access to the factory via this route.
