The Bogwood Boardwalk at Dynevor Park.

Dynevor Castle stands on an outcrop overlooking the majesty of the Tywi valley and is deservedly one of the major tourist attractions in Carmarthenshire. Those visiting the castle however, should consider a slight diversion along the boardwalk at the lower end of the deer-park.

A section of the Bogwood Boardwalk.

A gate in the high stone wall on the route to the castle leads on to the boardwalk - a fine wooden walkway taking you across a large area of partly submerged trees and marshy plants, appropriately known as Bog Wood. It is not often that you can enjoy such a place without being up to your kness in body-groping mud.

Mill pond and ancient trees at Dynevor Park.

As you walk you will pass Castle Oak, a huge oak tree that must surely be a contender for Carmarthenshire's oldest oak tree.  Eventually the boardwalk will take you around the old estate mill pond with stunning views over the other ancient trees in the Deer-park - a spectacle that gets even better in the autumn. At the end of the boardwalk your water-world interlude will be over and you can exit through a gate and continue on with your visit to the castle.
