Expect jaw-dropping beaches, cool castles and a whole lot of fun in Carmarthenshire
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) OZZY, a 1kg Bengal eagle-owl, swoops through the Welsh woodland dotted with brightly painted toadstool fairy houses to land gracefully on my three year old's gloved arm. 'Again!' Raffy shouts, with a grin almost as big as Ozzy's head. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 8 The Taf Estuary, Laugharne, Carmarthenshire 8 Hide and seek your way round Dinefwr Castle It's safe to say, the 90-minute flying experience with expert Alex and three owls – including the tiny but speedy Frodo and barn owl Allan – has gone down a treat. Experiences cost £65 per adult, £30 for over-fives ( We're in Carmarthenshire, a county in South Wales that most tourists drive through on their way to Pembrokeshire – more fool them. The wide, sandy beaches here hug the coastline for miles, majestic castles perch on hilltops and local delicacies are plentiful. A Bug's Life First to win over the kids is Llanelli Wetland Centre with the pinkest (and smelliest!) flamingos I've ever seen, thanks to our visit coinciding with mating season. But the highlight is undoubtedly a minibeast hunt, after which volunteer Eric pops the children's finds – a millipede, slug and spider – under a microscope and gives us a zoology lesson way more interesting than I ever had at school. Who knew slugs poo out of their heads? Entry costs £11.15 per adult, £7.20 for over-threes ( Home for the week is Dylan Coastal Resort, where our swish three-bedroom spa lodge has all the mod-cons and a hot tub to soak up stunning vistas of the Taf Estuary. On-site is the floor-to-ceiling glass-fronted Milk Wood Spa with yet more gorgeous views of the ever-changing tide from its sauna, steam room, indoor pool and alfresco hydrotherapy pool. Later, a wander downhill brings us into pretty Laugharne, the town made famous by poet Dylan Thomas. We follow the scent of wood-fired deliciousness to the sun-dappled courtyard of Ty Glo and head inside to its tiki-inspired interior. Underrated towns you need to visit The vibe is super-family-friendly, with a brilliant basket of games to borrow and fantastic food. The king prawn, mango, chilli and coriander cocktail with gyoza crisps is exquisite and the goat's cheese bonbons are the definition of moreish, both £10. Pizza perfection comes in the Ultimate Hawaiian (sorry, Italians) with its ham hock, chargrilled pineapple, jalapeños, fresh corn and onion. We also dig the Lamb-orgini – roast lamb, caramelised onion, feta and mint yoghurt and the Wild Hog, smothered in wild boar ragù with hog salami and piquanté peppers, £17.50 each ( Castle on the hill Wales has more castles per square mile than any other country in the world, so we picnic on leftover pizza the next day in the dreamy grounds of Dinefwr Castle ( Dinefwr delivers ramparts, towers and plenty of hidden nooks for hide and seek, plus there's a parkland with deer and roaming long-horned White Park cattle – residents here since the 9th century. 8 It shore is nice at Dylan Coastal Resort Credit: Supplied 8 Poppy enjoys the sun and sand at Pembrey beach Credit: Supplied by Catherine Bennion Pedley Parking costs £5 for non-National-Trust members, while castle and parkland entry is free. During our days exploring this enchanting county, Wright's Food Emporium proves a smart stop-off. The deli is stuffed with local goodies and the pork belly cubano – with its positively obscene slabs of pork belly layered with ham, cheddar, pickles and sriracha mayo inside the fluffiest of ciabatta, £14.50 – is possibly the best sandwich I've ever devoured ( I'm also a firm believer in elevenses, so I'm thrilled to discover that the Gwili Steam Railway serves Welsh elevenses on board. We sip tea (hot choc for the kids) and feast on Welsh cakes and bara brith (fruit loaf) as the train, operated by the sweetest fanatics, trundles past grazing animals and the crystal-clear Gwili river. We hop off to explore an old mail train and ride the miniature railway, before returning to base in Carmarthen. Tickets cost from £13 per person ( Cool runnings One of my favourite memories from childhood holidays in Wales is whizzing down a bobsleigh-like toboggan ride, and the country's longest is at Pembrey Country Park, a 500-acre haven of beach, woodland and grassland. Soon, husband Andy and I are racing down the metal track on sleds, Poppy and Raffy on our laps squealing with delight. 8 Tuck into terrific dishes at Ty Glo where the vibe is super-family-friendly Credit: Instagram 8 The Gwili Steam Railway serves Welsh elevenses on board Credit: John Jones Three rides cost £7.50 ( The day flies by just as fast, as we follow a bear trail through the pine forest, clamber over dunes and fly kites on the golden sands. A local tipped me off about Pantri Lolfa, a gorgeous cafe nearby, so we're fuelled by excellent coffee and gooey brownies. Later, as the sky turns crimson, citrus-cured salmon with seaweed, pickled cucumber and a champagne sauce, £11.50, plus crab tagliatelle, £24, make for a tasty tea at Dylan Coastal Resort's Milk Wood House. Horse play I always love the idea of horse riding, only to usually spend the entire trek afraid I'll be bucked off. But I've never felt as relaxed in the saddle as I do riding Apache at the excellent, family-run Marros Riding Centre. 8 The British Bird of Prey Centre based in Carmarthenshire Credit: Instagram 8 Catherine Bennion-Pedley in Carmarthenshire Credit: Catherine Bennion-Pedley Raffy rides Woody, a fuzzy ginger Shetland, while six-year-old Poppy gets Harry, a grey Welsh mountain pony and Andy, an Irish cob named Hercules. Having learned the basics – start, stop, steer – we ride through the farm's ancient woodland and I'm pretty certain the kids are now dreaming of owning a pony. A one-hour trek costs from £42 per person ( Our last night is spent in Laugharne's Dexters at Browns, the older sister of Ty Glo and a steak-lover's dream. Andy and I splash out on 40-day aged chateaubriand with dauphinoise potatoes, creamed spinach with rarebit topping and béarnaise sauce, £76, paired with glasses of primitivo, £7.75, as the kids tuck into mini rump meals, £12 each ( It's certainly an upgrade from my mum's meat and potato pie, often squished from the long journey down in the boot of our car as a kid. But just as those precious memories hold a special place in my heart, retracing family holidays with my own little ones now holds a special place, too.

‘A shandy or two' – No wild celebrations for England's U21 heroes as boss Carsley reveals they have 3.30am flight home
BEER-IRO 'A shandy or two' – No wild celebrations for England's U21 heroes as boss Carsley reveals they have 3.30am flight home Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) JONATHAN ROWE was England's hero as they sealed back-to-back Under-21s Euros glory. But the Marseille supersub and his team-mates will NOT be partying into the night — as they had to go straight to the AIRPORT. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 England retained their U21 European Championship title with a 3-2 victory over Germany Credit: AFP 2 Super-sub Jonathan Rowe won it for England with an early goal in extra-time Rowe headed home Tyler Morton's cross to seal an extra-time triumph over Germany in front of senior Three Lions chief Thomas Tuchel. Boss Lee Carsley sent on Rowe at the end of normal time — and the former Norwich forward stooped to nod a 92nd-minute winner to emulate England's 2023 success. But as fans watching on at home toasted another thrilling success — the players will be limited to "a shandy or two". That's after Carsley revealed the squad were booked onto a flight back to Birmingham just a few hours after lifting the trophy. READ MORE FOOTBALL NEWS ENGLAND 3 GERMANY 2 Lions retain Euro U21s crown as supersub Rowe wins it in extra-time Asked how his side planned to celebrate, Carsley said: "We go back to the hotel. "We have a couple of hours and then fly back into Birmingham at 3.30. "It's a quick turnaround. The players will be on holiday tomorrow. Their time is very important to them. But it's important that they have a shandy or two tonight." CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS He added: "I'm really proud of the players. The commitment they've shown for the last 28 days, all the instruction we've tried to put into them so quickly, they've taken it on board and they've got so much belief. "I'm so happy for them. To be European champions for the second time is a great achievement and the challenge now is to do it again in two years. England 3 Germany 2- Young Lions retain Euro U21s crown in THRILLER as supersub Jonathan Rowe wins it in extra-time "Any setback we've had, the players have just got together. I said at the start of the tournament, the longer we can stay in, the better we play. "I didn't think we played great tonight. I thought we probably sat a little bit too deep and didn't have as much control as I would've wanted, but I probably won't remember that in a couple of days." Meanwhile, hero of the hour Rowe, who was subbed on at full-time of normal time, praised the team for rallying together. The striker said: "I was not starting but I knew that at some point all of us on the bench would have to come on and make a difference and help the team to push us over the line. "I'm so happy we managed to do that in front of some important people. The job's finally finished and we can all celebrate."

The Spanish region undiscovered by Brits despite seaside views and ancient Roman cities
TREKKING up a steep ski slope wasn't on my radar for a summer mini-break in Spain. And the hike at an altitude of 2,300ft in the Pyrenees was leaving me a little breathless. 5 Vallter 2000 ski resort in the Pyrenees of Girona, Catalonia Credit: Alamy 5 Ryan and Scarlett at summit Credit: Supplied 5 Ryan, Kelly, Scarlett and Savannah soak up Girona Credit: Supplied But I was determined to keep up with my children, Savannah, 13, and Scarlett, 11, who had left me trailing. My wife Kelly and I had been promised the effort would be worth it for the spectacular views and, when we finally reached the peak, we were not disappointed. From our incredible viewpoint, our guide Xavi revealed the delights of the northern Spanish region of Catalonia, with the Mediterranean Sea in one direction, the French border in another. Many Brits may picture sun, sea and sangria when they think of Spain, but the lush green pastures, thick pine forests and tinkling cow bells give this area a truly peaceful Alpine appeal. READ MORE TRAVEL NEWS HIGH FRY Premier Inn takes on McDonald's with new burger menu - we tried the whole list While Spanish tourists flock here all year round for hiking in the summer and snow sports over winter, the area remains relatively undiscovered for us. And with blue skies and milder temperatures, it could make for a much more temperate option for families keen to avoid the scorching south. After our three-hour trek at the Vallter 2000 ski resort, we were ready for a hearty meal and soon discovered the area is a secret foodie paradise, boasting a constellation of 20 Michelin stars. At the rustic Can Jepet, a family restaurant set in the picturesque mountain village of Setcases, we were treated to a memorable five-course tasting menu. The highlights included organic eggs with asparagus, fresh river trout and a warm cookie cake served with ice cream made from the local Birba biscuits. With bellies full, we checked into Hotel Grevol, our home for the next three nights. Martin Lewis warns about strict passport rule that could see you board your flight - only to get sent home on arrival This charming hotel's wooden decor evoked a Swiss ski lodge and its wellness centre was the perfect place to soothe aching limbs. The next day took us to nearby animal park Mollo Parc, where we wandered through a river valley, admiring native rabbits, baby goats, birds of prey and huge brown bears. Scarlett was especially delighted when the zookeeper invited her to help feed the marmots — a friendly meerkat-type creature — their healthy breakfast of carrots and courgettes. All-time top pudding Just next door is the Mollo adventure park, which offers Go Ape-style activities. I was more than happy to be the designated photographer, while my fearless daughters flew through the fir forests on zip wires. That afternoon there were more gastronomic delights on offer at Restaurant Can Calixto, where we feasted on seasonal dishes and local produce, including salmon with leek cream and juicy pork ribs. Our next stop was the small town of Camprodon, another hidden gem oozing history and situated idyllically beside the Ter River. Our culinary adventure concluded at Pont 9 restaurant, a favourite with locals and featuring an adventurous menu including pig's trotters and cuttlefish. It was here my daughter Savannah discovered her new all-time 'top pudding' — a warm, sugar-coated croissant-style pastry filled with Catalan cream. They are called xuixos, and we hope they make their way to the UK soon! 5 Scarlett feeds the marmots Credit: Supplied 5 I hope a warm, sugar-coated croissant-style pastry filled with Catalan cream called xuixos make their way to the UK soon Credit: Alamy We also visited Girona, a beautiful and lively city in Catalonia, half an hour from the coast and often overshadowed by its coastal neighbour Barcelona. Girona has become a magnet for both professional and amateur cyclists, resulting in a buzzy and stylish cafe and restaurant scene. A walking tour took us up to the spectacular city walls, first built by the Romans in the 1st century BC, where we admired panoramic views. Winding our way back to our hotel through the city's cobbled alleyways, we spotted locations featured in smash hit TV series Game Of Thrones and walked across a striking red bridge. Our guide informed us it was designed by one Gustave Eiffel before he turned his attention to a certain tower in Paris. Our sumptuous lunch was at Fonda cal Ros, which offers Catalonian twists on classic tapas and made us vow to return to this wonderful city. If you're looking for a family-friendly culinary adventure, combined with exhilarating activities in natural surroundings, book your ticket pronto for this stunning corner of Spain.
