Carmarthenshire tour

About Carmarthenshire tour

This is a holiday where any task is possible, from fitting new gates on footpath networks to path and step repair, gardening or cutting back gorse on coastal paths and cliffs. There are also opportunities to get busy tree planting, fencing and painting, or you could spend a day at the seaside litter picking (perhaps even with an ice-cream!). And, if that’s not enough, then a side order of rhododendron clearance is also on the list. As they say, variety truly is the spice of life, and when you join this working holiday you’ll not only discover more about the county, but also its countryside and coast.
If you’re open to having a go at any task, then this is the holiday for you. Carmarthenshire is a diverse county of secluded sandy beaches, ancient woodland and rural landscapes stretching from the coast right to the western corners of the Brecon Beacons National Park and the Cambrian Muntains in the north. Although what you’ll be doing will be a mystery until you arrive, you’ll always be working in glorious settings, with opportunities to spot wildlife and take in the expansive Welsh views wherever you are and whatever you’re doing.
