Llandovery is surrounded by beautiful and interesting places to visit. Whether it’s nature, history or fun for the kids, it’s all on the doorstep. Or perhaps take a trip on the scenic Heart of Wales Line for one of the most beautiful train journeys in Britain.

The Heart of Wales Line crosses two impressive viaducts at Knucklas and at Cynghordy and goes through six tunnels, including one on the magnificent run up to Sugar Loaf. Over 30 stations are served by the line including Llandovery.
