This is on the opposite side of the road to the main woodland walk, went this way to have a look at the waterfall marked on the woodland walk signs. Waterfall was a technically accurate, but I was more excited watching the water fill my bath. But there were some lovely things to see.

Visited Dinefwr Castle, Golden Forest & Golden Mansion. Focus of our trip was Geneology. Overall it was a beautiful area.

4/5 - Good

A beautiful little village and easy walk from house. Great for a stroll around. The abbey is interesting. There do not appear to be any shops in Talley, but it's a short drive to Llandeilo.
