Map of the UK

Llansteffan sits on a sandy spit and tidal estuary in Carmarthenshire, Wales, dominated by the crumbling silhouette of a medieval castle perched on the headland. The village looks out across the mouth of the River Towy to Ferryside, and the long beach, dunes and cliffs make it popular with walkers on the Wales Coast Path, birdwatchers and people after quiet seaside views rather than bustling resorts.

Historically the castle guards a landscape shaped by farming and fishing and today the local economy combines agriculture with seasonal tourism, small businesses and holiday accommodation; the village retains a convivial community feel with a pub, a village hall and occasional events and arts activities, while geology, wildlife and historic interest draw visitors year-round.
