Spotlight on Llanybydder
As part of our Ten Towns project, each month we will showcase our County’s rural market towns and this month our focus turns to Llanybydder.
Llanybydder marks the border between Carmarthenshire and Ceredigion, with a foot in each County. The County is a gateway to the Cambrian Mountains, a place where hills meet river valleys.
Read more about funding in Llanybydder via the UK Government's Shared Prosperity Fund.
You can access free images of Llanybydder to enhance your marketing. Here’s a link to our webpage providing inspiration for your guests.
On Thursday 27 February between 10-3 we will be at Llanybydder Rugby Club where you can drop in to speak with Council officers from tourism development, licensing and business support. The event is free to attend, and no appointments are required.
