We drove through some lovely towns, and in Kidwelly we stopped and explored a really wonderful old castle. It was set part way up a hill, with a fine view of the valley, and it was very beautiful. There was a small admission charge, and that included a great recording we could hear with a headset. They had a very entertaining history lesson, almost like a radio show with different voices, that told interesting things about the castle and the history there. Like, if you were a Welshman attempting to sneak in, what would you encounter?

We stopped in Cynwyl Elfed for some tea in a tiny old pub. As we drank our tea, we tried to eavesdrop on the locals who were there, but their accents were so strong we could only catch a word or two. At first we thought they were speaking Welsh, but no..it was English, but with a very strong accent!
