Directions

From Carmarthen take the A40 towards Llandeilo. When you reach the roundabout at Llandeilo, take the first exit towards Llandovery and then take the first left fork towards Talley. Continue for 1.5km and take the left turn signposted Salem. At the end of the road, turn right sign-posted Salem. Proceed through Salem and when you leave the village, take the left turn at the x-roads signposed Abergorlech. Continue to the end of the road and then turn left sign-posted Abergorlech. After approximately 2km, you will see a left-turn for Abergorlech on a right bend. Here, you need to take the road "not suitable for heavy good vehicles", effectively straight ahead. Stay on this road for approximately 1 mile. The entrance track to Cathilas Farm is on the right-hand side, just before a farm. Follow the track to the very end until you reach the property (there is a couple who live along the track before you reach Cathilas Farm which is great for security) .
