If you
are coming from the Midlands or the South, the quickest route is probably to
take the M4 right to the end, and then take the A48, to Carmarthen.
You will have to pay to cross the Severn Bridge into Wales (£6.50 as at
January 2015) but it's free on the way back. From
Carmarthen, see the route in Red on the map below.
The alternative is to follow
the A40, which avoids the Severn Bridge toll and provides some amazing
scenery, but will probably take longer. You join the red route where
the A40 joins the Carmarthen by-pass (see the green line on the map below). |
- When
you get to Camarthen on the A48, follow the signs for the hospital:
-
1st
roundabout, 3rd exit
-
2nd
roundabout, 3rd exit (2nd exit is a service road - just look for the
sign to the hospital if you're unsure)
-
3rd
roundabout, 1st exit
(it is at
this roundabout that the A40 joins - you need the 2nd exit on this
route).
-
4th
roundabout, 1st exit (this takes you past the hospital)
-
5th
roundabout, 2nd exit on to A484 (the sign is for Newcastle
Emlyn) (take care - very twisty roads),
- On the
A484, at Cynwyl Elfed, pass a restaurant (currently Chinese) and a village store on your right.
-
Go up
the hill and take the B4333 on your left, just before
the bend.
- On the
B4333, go through Hermon and go as far again (about 5 miles in all).
-
You'll
go round a rather serious right hand bend - now start looking out
for the sign for the Malindi centre on the left. There is a strange
junction, with two roads meeting the B4333 on the left. The
first is the
B4299; take the other one past the Malindi Centre (no road
name).
- Follow
this single track road for a few miles down the hill; you go through
Tanglwst.
-
You'll
go over a fairly tight stone bridge, then you reach a T junction -
go left. This is our road (no name!). Go through a small
hamlet (Cwm Morgan) and over another narrow stone bridge. Follow the
road round to the right. Keep next to the water. Do not take the
turning up the hill to the left just after the bridge.
-
You'll
go past an iron sculptor's place on the left (there's probably an
iron horse in his garden). The river is on your right.
-
You go
over a slight hill, with a rail on your right (like those in the
central reservation of a motorway) - start looking for a turn on
your right, just before a little wall with a sign saying Godremamog
mill - this is the drive for the mill.
To get to
Godremamog Mill:
Turn right into the drive and
right again into the car park (but you
might like to go left up to the mill to drop your stuff off first - you
can turn round at the top).
To
get to Park Villa:
drive past the mill and take the next turn on the right (a 3 point
turn). Park Villa is the next house on the left, just as you start up
the hill again. The parking area is on the right, across the
road from the house.
