Directions to the Mill & Park Villa from Carmarthen               

Up From Carmarthen From Newcastle Emlyn

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.
