National Trust - Paxton's Tower — Attraction in Llanarthney

My South Wales mission possible. My dream came true and while travelling and exploring South Wales I just found this tower on my way and decided to have a look. Weather was October style and getting a bit murky, mysterious mood around and when sun was flashing throught the clouds and nobody around.....it was terrific experience.

Have a good boots cause u ll reach the tower over meadows so if it s wet everything is moody. You ll have access upstairs so if clear skye there is...

This folly on top of the hill has one of the best views of the Towy Valley. The building itself is interesting, fully accessible and free to visit.

Visited with family over Easter and did some egg rolling. There is a small car park near the gate which is free.

The tower itself is positioned on top of a reasonable hill suitable for most people to navigate. Once you get to the top the views are stunning, you can see for miles!

The tower itself is very well preserved and there is very little in the way of dangerous objects etc so you can let the children run around without fear of them injuring themselves. Be aware that the field must be used as a sheep field at some point as there is sheep poo around so keep an eye...
