Every now and then I go on a walk that seems to touch my soul. It's a dreamy feeling of being totally at one with nature and I find myself longing to return the moment I leave. There is such a walk in Llansteffan.
This is such an underrated section of Wales' coastline, which is a good thing as there are less people. Everyone else is a little further along the Carmarthenshire Coast at Laugharne, or eating chips in Tenby - both equally lovely for a day out and teeming with fabulous walks.
But there's just something about Llansteffan - its stillness, the lack of any sound other than the birds and the occasional breeze to ruffle through the leaves of the trees (fortunately - it wasn't blowing a gale the day I visited!). There is a calm serenity. Llansteffan will welcome you into its open arms, but it won't mourn your departure, it's just happy being - it doesn't need you or I, or any famous past residents or world-beating chip shops to make it feel any better about itself than it already does. It is what it is. You can get more Carmarthenshire news and other story updates straight to your inbox by subscribing to our newsletters here.
