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.

Burry Port is a small town five miles outside the larger centre of Llanelli in Carmarthenshire, Wales, lying on the Loughor estuary.The town's population was 4,209 in the 2001 census and 4,240 in 2012. The town is home to a harbour and is where Amelia Earhart landed as the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean. The Pembrey Burrows sand dune and wetland system, home to a country park and the Cefn Sidan sands, lie nearby. The town also has a proud musical heritage and is also home to Burry Port Opera, Male Choir and Burry Port Town Band
Burry Port lies 5 miles west of Llanelli. It sits at the mouth of the Loughor estuary, looking south towards the picturesque Gower peninsula. West of the town's shoreline is Pembrey Burrows, a large area of burrow and marshland which historically occupied many square miles of land, much of which has later been reclaimed. To the north of the town is the hill Mynydd Pembrey, or Pembrey Mountain. Further north lie the Gwendraeth Valleys. The Gwendraeth Fawr runs north easterly from Kidwelly for about twelve miles (19 km). The land around the valley itself contains large amounts of coal as well as limestone. The Gwendraeth Fawr flows the length of the valley and joins its sister river the Gwendraeth Fach west of Kidwelly before flowing into Carmarthen Bay.
People made a living in Burry Port from farming and fishing before the industrial revolution brought the railways and collieries to the area, As Pembrey Burrows was a hazard to shipping, local people would also salvage what they could from boats wrecked in storms while navigating the Bristol Channel. Pembrey sands have proved the final resting place of many ships, some by mishap, others it is said lured to their doom deliberately to provide plunder for the wreckers known as Gwyr-y-Bwelli Bach or The Men of Little Hatchets. They were named after the locally made tool, a hatchet incorporating a claw for ripping open cargo and equally useful for dispatching unwanted witnesses to the wreckers' activities .
With the closure of all the mines at Cwm Mawr the railways up the valley were lifted. The harbour is now a marina for small leisure craft. Pembrey and Burry Port railway station still exists and is served by regular services east via Swansea and Cardiff to London and west into Pembrokeshire. Burry Port boasts a small supermarket, specialist shops, several hairdressers, a beauty and skincare salon, an array of pubs and fast food outlets, a library and a large secondary school. Burry Port lies on the Millennium Coastal Path from Bynea near Llanelli to Pembrey Burrows. The town is also home to a lifeboat station which is situated in Burry Port Harbour.

Carmarthenshire in January 2017
On a calm, sunny (but very cold) January day in 2017, I took out my Phantom 3 drone to capture some of the landscapes in Carmarthenshire. The daylight is at a premium at that time of the year (and so were the drone's batteries, as the cold often means that they expend a lot faster), so I decided to visit 3 beauty spots in Carmarthenshire that were not very far apart. This meant that I could capitalise on the golden hour of light that happens relatively early in the evening at that time of year.
I decided to visit Carreg Cennen early in the morning, for a brisk walk with my father. This meant that I had enough time to recharge the drone's batteries before catching the setting sun later in the afternoon at Dryslwyn Castle and the nearby Paxton's Tower.
This short video contains a combination of the footage captured on that day, and a series of photographs taken with my Nikon D7100 over recent years. The editing process was undertaken with Adobe Premiere Pro CC.
