Location
Llanarthney is a small village 8 miles east of Carmarthen, 6 miles west of Llandeilo, with an excellent food emporium, local pub and village hall. Porthyrhyd is a mile and half distant with a several inns and a local shop. The county town of Carmarthen situated on the River Towy is 8 miles away. Here a wide range of facilities area available including grocery super stores, most high street names, a cinema complex, restaurants, bars and a multi storey car park. The town is also the home of the headquarters of Dyfed Powys Police, the Carmarthen Campus of The University of Wales and The West Wales General Hospital. There are numerous primary schools and two secondary schools providing education in Welsh and English. The town is also served by direct inter city trains from West Wales to London with the A48 giving easy access to the M4 with Cardiff an hour distant.
Llanarthney is proud to be home to the National Botanical Garden of Wales which was officially opened in July of 2000 having been established on an extensive area of the former Middleton Estate. The garden is both a visitor attraction and a centre for botanical research and conservation, featuring the world's largest single-span glasshouse measuring 110 m long by 60 m wide, with the site extending to 568 acres.
Ty Newydd benefits from direct, impressive views of Dryslwyn Castle from the house and grounds. Wikipedia describes it as "a native Welsh castle, sited on a rocky hill roughly halfway between Llandeilo and Carmarthen. It stands on high ground overlooking the Tywi Valley with extensive views. It was built in about the 1220s by one of the princes of the kingdom of Deheubarth, and changed hands several times in the struggles between the Welsh and English over the ensuing centuries. It is considered one of the most important remaining structures built by a Welsh chieftain and is a Grade I listed building."
Nearby is Paxton's Tower, a Neo-Gothic folly built by Sir William Paxton in c 1806-1809, erected in honour of Lord Nelson, sited on the top of a hill near Llanarthne. It was designed by the architect Samuel Pepys cockerel who also designed Middleton Hall which was destroyed by fire in 1931 and is now the site of the glass house at the Botanical Gardens.
Ty Newydd
The property was originally built around 1607 and then rebuilt in 1763 to operate as a small farm; the once 8' thick walls were reduced to 3' in the early 1900's to create additional interior space. Prior tenants include William Thomas a schoolmaster, then in 1899 Philip Perkins who, along with his older sons, worked slating and plastering on the nearby Cawdor Estate properties. One son – a tax assessor, became well know recording local history and producing illustrated maps.
Today the home has been fully refurbished and extended to provide contemporary living conveniences with the charm of yesteryear. Features include handmade solid oak skirting, doors and windows with double glazing, underfloor heating, a sophisticated electrical system enabling multi choice lighting, central communication and entertainment wiring, plus an integrated security and fire alarm system.
