Love the idea of camping, but hate tents
and portaloos? Why not give glamping a
go? With a cosy bed, kitchen and en-suite,
these glamping pods have everything that
you will need. With a private decking area,
you relax as the sun sets, surrounded by
wildflowers and grazing sheep. With walking
trails from the doorstep and easy access to
the River Gwydderig, you can take a stroll for
an afternoon paddle. Each pod is the perfect
size for two adults, making it a great couple’s
getaway. With the comfort and luxury of
these pods, you’ll never want to leave!

WETLANDS TRUST,
LLANELLI
Young intrepid explorers and wildlife-
loving families are sure to love the new
canoe safaris running at WWT in Llanelli.
Visitors young and old can paddle their way
around reed-lined pools whilst looking out
for kingfishers, dragonflies, water voles
and more. Those who prefer staying on
dry land also have the option to jump on a
bike and explore. Or if that’s not for you,
discover the wetland’s new sculpture, The
Bell, designed by Dutch artist Bouke Groen,
inspired by the surrounding landscape and
aiming to encourage visitors to engage in
the debate around climate change.
Tickets from £6.10

Vike’ club, where your little ones can
battle with Vikings. There’s also plenty
of artisan food producers, craft courses
and local music. This is a great day to
rough your wool up and celebrate these
much-loved Welsh animals!
