Carmathenshire is the ideal location for a UK spring break

Published: 27 January 2012

Caravanners looking for somewhere to enjoy the spring months should consider Carmarthenshire.

The South West Wales region has plenty of scenic routes for walking and cycling, and will host a number of interesting activities in February and March.

One of the most widely anticipated events is Celtic Carnage, Wales' new Strongman competition, which is held in Carmarthen.

During the competition, nearly 40 competitors will battle for the title of Wales' Strongest Man and the UK's Strongest Man.

Visitors to Carmarthenshire should also make sure they make the trip to the National Botanic Garden of Wales.

Next month, the Swansea Astronomical Society will be hosting a 'star party' at the garden, during which astronomy enthusiasts can enjoy talks and practical demonstrations on how to observe the night sky.

In March, Carmarthenshire is going to be particularly picturesque, thanks to the arrival of the daffodils.

The best place to enjoy them is Aberglasney Garden in Llangathen, where more than 20,000 bulbs were planted last autumn.
