THE LOCALITY:
The Taliaris Estate was the seat of William Peel in the early 19th Century, a cousin of Sir Robert Peel, the founder of the
modern police force (but its origins date back probably to the 16th Century), and included a large (private) mansion with
extensive grounds and ancient woodlands as well as a lake and forestry plantations. The area is situated around Gaer
Fawr hill, which rises to some 291m, with streams draining into the River Dulais to the east, a tributary of the River Towy to
the south. There are two villages in the area, Salem to the south and Cwmdu to the north, and there are numerous
footpaths and quiet lanes for excellent walking – as far as Talley Woodlands – and bird-watching opportunities.
Salem village is 2 miles from the property south-westerly, with a chapel and an award winning pub with restaurant (the
Angel). Cwmdu is 3 miles northerly, a picturesque village with a community-run shop/post office and inn.
Talley Woodlands are to the north, close to the 12th Century remains of Talley Abbey and two glacial lakes – an
enchanting setting (some 5 miles by road). The woodlands have footpaths, bridleways, and hillside viewpoints, being
managed by Talley’s Community Association in conjunction with the Forestry Commission.
Llandeilo is 4 miles southerly, off the A40 – a small, historic town with distinctive shops, galleries, pubs, hotels, good
restaurants, main post office, health centre, primary and secondary schools, churches, and railway station on the scenic
Heart of Wales country line that runs over 121 miles from Swansea to Shrewsbury. Llandeilo dates back to the 13th Century
and occupies an elevated position by the River Towy and near the upland region of the Black Mountain in Brecon Beacons
National Park. The town was once the medieval capital of Carmarthenshire, but the development of Llandeilo really grew in
the 18th Century as a market town and banking centre for cattle drovers. It once had corn and woollen mills as well as a
tanning industry, and it is still an agricultural centre nowadays. The town retains its old world charm, with narrow streets,
Georgian buildings, and a single-span stone bridge over the Towy, built in 1848.
Dinefwr Park is just outside Llandeilo, with a 17th Century manor house (Newton House), woodland, mill pond, fallow deer,
white cattle, and the Castle Woods Nature Reserve, which offers a walk to the 12th Century Dinefwr Castle, perched on a
rocky crag commanding stunning views along the Towy Valley.
Brecon Beacons National Park extends from Llandeilo in the west to Hay-on-Wye in the east, covering some 520 square
miles, and incorporates the Black Mountain massif to the west, the Fforest Fawr, the Central Brecon Beacons and Black
Mountains Range to the east. The scenery is spectacular with diverse countryside including high mountain peaks, gorges,
waterfalls, lakes, open hills and moorland, as well as wooded valleys and lowlands with soft rolling farmland and clear
meandering rivers. There are Castles at strategic points on the boundaries of the park – at Hay-on-Wye, Brecon, Trecastle,
Tretower, Crickhowell and the impressive Carreg Cennen, about 8 miles south-easterly.
Aberglasney House & Gardens are about 7 miles south-westerly, once shrouded in mystery but famously restored to
bring the estate back to its former glory – its origins are believed to date back to the 1400s. The National Botanic Garden
of Wales is about 15 miles from the property, featuring the Great Glass House designed by Norman Foster.
Carmarthen is 19 miles south-westerly, the busy county town and commercial centre on the meandering Towy river, with
excellent shopping, multi-screen cinema, university college, general hospital and main line railway station and A48/M4-link.
