Llanelli, the largest town in both the county of Carmarthenshire and the preserved county of Dyfed, Wales, sits on the Loughor estuary on the West Wales coast, approximately 10 miles west-northwest of Swansea and 12 miles (19 km) south-east of the county town, Carmarthen. The town of Llanelli is famous for its proud rugby tradition and is a centre of tinplate production.
Llanelli is surrounded by a number of villages and communities in the Llanelli Rural district. Some of these communities, especially ones that immediately surround the town, are often unofficially referred to as Llanelli. In many respects, Llanelli represents a continuation of the Newport-Cardiff-Swansea metropolitan belt into the more rural West of Wales; or conversely the start of the same.
Over the past decade, the emphasis on heavy industry that once played an important part in the district has changed to an emphasis on creating tertiary sector employment in leisure and tourism. Llanelli is now being developed as a leisure and tourism destination, with many ongoing developments such as the new Llanelli Scarlets rugby stadium, the Old Castle Works leisure village and a National Hunt racecourse at Ffos Las near Trimsaran. Machynys Ponds, a Site of Special Scientific Interest notable for its dragonfly population, is 1 mile (1.6 km) to the south of Llanelli.
The Millennium Coastal Path, which spans 13 miles (21 km) of coastline from Loughor to Pembrey, offers views of the Gower Peninsula and the opportunity for traffic-free cycling. National Wetlands Centre, about 1-mile (1.6 km) east of Llanelli, is one of nine wetland nature reserves managed by the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust. Llanelly House is one of Llanelli's most historic properties, an example of an early 18th-century Georgian town house. The house, located directly opposite the parish church, is currently in a poor state of repair, however the town council has recently purchased it with plans to completely restore the house for civic and public use. Parc Howard Museum is set in the grounds of Park Howard.
Llanelli is on the south coast of West Wales and is linked to many national locations via road, rail and air services. Rail provides an important link to the town from Llanelli railway station which is located at Great Western Crescent south of the town centre. Llanelli is connected to the National Cycle Network from the north on NCR 43.

Llanelly House Restoration Work Time-lapse. June 2013 Update
Llanelly House Restoration Work Time-lapse by
The Llanelly House project was effectively started during the 2003 BBC 'Restoration' series, in which the building was an acclaimed finalist, championed by the flamboyant Laurence Llewelyn Bowen. Since then the vision, investment, research and a great deal of hard work, have transformed the project. Its reopening, scheduled for early 2013, will be a triumph of community, archaeology, history, culture, building skills and faith in Llanelli's heritage.
Llanelly House has, throughout its post-mediaeval history, been the focus of the town and a hub from which its people and achievements trace their roots. And now, once more, it is becoming the Face of Llanelli.
A past that includes world-class industrialists, high society, some of the first wine imports from Hardys, major art and business personalities and more, is matched with intriguing architecture and evidence of changing building techniques. From its Jacobean core, Llanelly House has seen additions and improvements through the ages, culminating in a stunning Georgian mansion, whose stature and grounds dictated the map of the town itself. Explore Llanelly House with us as we move towards our public opening, that will include one of the UK's most advanced genealogy showcases and opportunities for people of all ages to become immersed in the past, present and future.
And you can get involved now. We have many opportunities to volunteer with the Llanelly House team or to attend workshops designed to help you find out about your past. Just call the team on 01554 772857 or email us at the address shown.

History
Design and construction Sir John Clerk's father, the first Baronet of Penicuik, planned a house on the Mavisbank estate in the late 17th century, for which a drawing of 1698 survives. Sir John Clerk, 2nd Baronet (1676-1755) was a Member of the Parliament of Scotland, and, after the union of 1707, of the Parliament of Great Britain. He was also an artistic patron, a composer of music, and an amateur architect. In 1722, he inherited his father's estates, and began planning the new house. Around this time, William Adam was engaged on his first major commission, the remodelling of Hopetoun House for the Earl of Hopetoun. Clerk and Adam collaborated on the design of Mavisbank, which was based on the 1698 proposal. Each claimed the greater part of the credit for the design. Clerk wrote in a letter that he designed the house under the correction of Mr Adams, a talented architect, while Adam credited the design to himself in his book, Vitruvius Scoticus. It is clear that Adam enjoyed an unusually close relationship with his client, despite their differences of opinion. Clerk certainly criticized some of Adam's suggestions, although surviving correspondence suggests Adam got his way on a number of points.The foundations were laid in 1723, with construction entrusted to the mason and contractor John Baxter Senior, with stone carved by William Sylverstyne. However, William Adam himself was later appointed to complete the works. Later history and decline
The house passed out of the Clerk family in 1815. In 1840, the house was extended, possibly to designs by Thomas Hamilton, the symmetrical additions including a ballroom. The building became an asylum in 1876. Additions were made to the front of the pavilions in the 1880s. Further extensions were made in the 1920s, but in 1946, Dr W. M. Harrowes, Medical Superintendent for Edinburgh purchased the property, and demolished all the additions made since the 18th century. His intended restoration of the house went unrealised, however. In the 1950s, the forecourt was used as a car park for cars both used and scrap by local man Archie Stevenson, and neglect set in. The building was gutted by fire in 1973, destroying the roof and interiors. In 1986, Mr Stevenson was evicted from Mavisbank along with serveral other people who stayed in caravans on the property. Ownership of the house remained uncertain, however, as Stevenson had sold portions the property to three possibly fictitious persons in the USA. In July 2008, Historic Scotland was still pursuing compulsory purchase of the building. Restoration proposals Previous stabilisation work was carried out in the 1980s under emergency powers, following the threatened demolition of the structure. The Mavisbank Trust, a subsidiary of the Edinburgh Green Belt Trust, was formed in 2003 to oversee maintenance of the building and grounds, and to explore longer-term solutions for their restoration. In August 2003, Mavisbank was featured in the BBC Television programme Restoration, in which the public were invited to vote for restoration proposals. Mavisbank reached the final round, but lost out to Manchester's Victoria Baths. In 2008, Historic Scotland were examining two options: stabilisation of the building as a ruin; or creation of a developer's shell, which could be sold and completed by a third party. A local campaign group, Friends of Mavisbank, has been formed with the aim of promoting more limited architectural intervention, while improving public access to the estate.
