Johnstown
It is a well known fact that small satellite towns and villages near large county towns, can enjoy all the infrastructure, noise and glamour, the great shopping, large hospitals and sought after schools of its neighbour - but with none of the hubbub.
Separated by the tidal river Towy as it winds its way from the Cambrian Mountains down to Carmarthen Bay. And by the handy A40 that makes commuting and visiting Pembrokeshire and the Brecon Beacons National Park a breeze. Close to home, there’s an out-of-town retail park, a large supermarket and all the high street shops, boutiques and delicious eateries of the town centre.

Great proximity from your door
Your new house in Johnstown benefits from a quiet town location with the county town on your doorstep. That means you have easy access to all the historical character and cultural events, great shopping and nights out, as well as health and education choices within a short drive. Take time out of your new Johnston new build to explore the remains of the medieval castle, with sailing boats bobbing in the river, or have lunch overlooking the Pont King Morgan – an amazing modern landmark.
Great road links
The roads are just south of the A40 connecting Abergavenny (68 miles) to the east and Haverfordwest (31 miles) to the west. Head south on the A48 and Swansea is a very commutable 28 miles southeast, while Cardiff is around 67 miles. A mile and a half away, there is a mainline railway station with services to Pembroke, Swansea, Cardiff, London and Manchester.
Great countryside and fun days out
Carmarthenshire is well known for its beautiful expanses of countryside and long golden sandy beaches. It has countryside, culture and fun days out, right on the doorstep. The Gwili Steam railway will give you a taste of yesteryear along the old Aberystwyth line. Visit Oriel Myrddin Gallery for a dazzling selection of art, crafts and design. Or explore Dylan Thomas' "brown as owls" Laugharne Castle and with his Boathouse Writing Studio. From your new house you can walk the seven miles of golden sandy beach at Pendine - where petrol heads have set numerous world speed records - or to the silent giant hills of the Brecon Beacons.
