Llanelli

Llanelli is where west Wales and east Wales meet, where the valleys meet the sea and where history meets 21st-century Wales. The largest town in Carmarthenshire with a vibrant city centre and sense of community pride, surrounded by miles of beaches and miles of undulating hills and rolling countryside to the north.

The town centre is crammed with blue plaques celebrating the history of the town, with beautiful Georgian streets full of high-street shops, independent stores, coffee shops, bars and restaurants. There's even an indoor market packed with gorgeous local produce and street food to take away.

Great road, rail and air links

Your new house is just off Junction 48 of the M4, giving you easy access to cities across the M4 corridor including Swansea (11 miles), Neath (18 miles) and Cardiff (56 miles). Take the A48 to the Gower Peninsula Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty to explore.

A train from the train station can have you into Swansea in around 20 minutes, Cardiff in about an hour and Newport around 15 minutes after that. The nearest airport is Cardiff which is around an hour and a quarter's drive.

A great choice of schools 

There are 19  primary schools as well as a choice of five secondary schools including an independent. Within that choice, there are faith schools and specific Welsh-medium and English-medium schools. It is also home to Ysgol Heol Goffa, a school for children with special educational needs.

Hit the shops straight from your door

As well as its good range of local shops, close to your new build, you’ve got the Parc Trostre Retail Park, the St Elli shopping centre and the Parc Pemberton Retail Park. The town is very popular with visitors and that means a thriving town centre with lots of independent shops and cafés.
