When Jonathan Edwards first moved into his home there was an unusual request. "When we moved in three years ago, we actually had to sign to say we wouldn’t sell alcohol here,” he said.
The reason is that Mr Edwards' home was once a pub. It's also part of one of the most iconic rows of houses in south Wales. In fact, search for Llandeilo on Google and the first thing that comes up is his house - well - the row of houses including his. The picture-book perfect, pastel-coloured houses are on a hill just beyond the Grade-II listed Llandeilo Bridge over the River Towy.
The properties, on aptly-named Bridge Street, date back to around the 1780s and some served as businesses years ago - but these days they're mostly homes, with a few Air BnBs, locals say. Whilst residents do have to put up with noisy lorries and trucks trawling past - as several HGVs use Llandeilo as a shortcut to travel to mid and North Wales, life here is pretty relaxed, with gorgeous views of Carmarthenshire to feast your eyes on, a string of lovely, independent shops to visit and a wide range of social groups and community activities to get involved in.
