Places to see in ( Llanelli - UK )
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.

Places to see in ( Swansea - UK ) Gower Peninsula
Places to see in ( Swansea - UK ) Gower Peninsula
Gower or the Gower Peninsula is a peninsula in the south of Wales, projecting westwards into the Bristol Channel. Gower Peninsula is the most westerly part of the county of Glamorgan, however it is currently administered as part of the unitary authority of Swansea. In 1956, Gower became the first area in the United Kingdom to be designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
About 70 square miles (180 km2) in area, Gower is known for its coastline, popular with walkers and outdoor enthusiasts, especially surfers. Gower has many caves, including Paviland Cave and Minchin Hole Cave. The peninsula is bounded by the Loughor Estuary to the north and Swansea Bay to the east. Gower Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty covers 188 km², including most of the peninsula west of Crofty, Three Crosses, Upper Killay, Blackpill and Bishopston. The highest point of Gower is The Beacon at Rhossili Down at 193 metres (633 ft) overlooking Rhossili Bay. Pwll Du and the Bishopton Valley form a statutory Local Nature Reserve.
The interior of Gower consists mainly of farmland and common land. The population resides mainly in villages and small communities, though suburban development has made a number of communities in eastern Gower part of the Swansea Urban Area. The southern coast consists of a series of small, rocky or sandy bays, such as Langland and Three Cliffs, and larger beaches such as Port Eynon, Rhossili and Oxwich Bay. The north of the peninsula has fewer beaches, and is home to the cockle-beds of Penclawdd.

ROAD TRIP TO WALES | DAY 3 - Rhossili Beach, Gower Heritage Centre & more
Our road trip to Wales Day 3
This video features a trip to the Gower Heritage Centre where we meet some crazy chickens and discover Wales' smallest cinema!
Then it's onto Rhossili Bay for the afternoon. Voted as one of the UK's top 10 beaches and I can see why. We were treated to beautiful blue skies and stumbled upon a real ship wreck!
We spent the evening in the King Arthur Pub which was a real gem - our evening meal was spot on! Then we end our day back at The King's Head after a few sheep on the road delay us a little!
Don't forget to check out our previous videos from the trip:

'The Tower Gateway' Excursion to Cwmbargoed & Tower Colliery 09/03/2014
UK Railtours, The Tower Gateway, hauled by 66250 Top 'N Tailed with 66021 ran from London Paddington to Cwmbargoed and Tower Colliery in South Wales during perfect conditions to visit these end of line locations situated high in the Mountains of South Wales. Due to operating difficulties, the train left London around an hour and a half late, however, with some re-adjustment of the schedules, managed to make up time throughout the day.
Firstly we see the train climbing up to Cwbargoed on the branch from Ystrad Mynach in the Rhymney Valley, then we see it passing the old Station location of Hirwaun on its way to Tower Colliery, on the Branch from Aberdare, before the final scenes at Aberdare, where we see a Class 150 arriving from Cardiff, and the Excursion as it accelerates smartly away down towards Cardiff and back to London.

Simeto estuary national park, Sicily
SEE MY FACEBOOK PAGE :
The Simeto is the second longest river in Sicily but its estuary is surprisingly very small as you can see in this film. The area around it is a natural park - but it is a very small natural park. Located close by, and crossing the Simeto river, is the Primasole Bridge which is famous for the battle that took place there in July 1943 between British and German paratroopers.
