There are plenty of popular attractions in and around the town, the highlights of which we have recommended below.
One of the most impressive historical buildings in Wales is Kidwelly Castle, which is one of the town’s main attractions. Built in the early 12th century, the castle has a dramatic past of conflict and numerous different inhabitants, and is now a fantastic place to visit to learn more about the history of the area and see a wonderfully preserved example of ancient architecture.
If you’re looking for natural beauty, the Glan yr Afon nature reserve is close to the town and has several footpaths that offer lovely walks around the area. Kidwelly Quay is another charming place for a walk, and whilst the canal and quay are no longer in use by boats they are a haven for many species of British wildlife.
On a rainy day, the Kidwelly Industrial Museum is just a mile outside of the town centre and is home to the second oldest tinplate works in the UK. Entry is free, although donations are encouraged, and there is a great range of different industrial machinery on display at all times of the year as well as seasonal exhibitions.
Once you’ve explored the tourist attractions in Kidwelly, there’s plenty more to do a little further afield. The nearby Pembrey Country Park on the coast is a beautiful green space with plenty of footpaths and places to stop for a picnic, along with facilities that include a dry ski slope and model railway.
If you’re looking for something a little more adrenaline-filled, Pembrey Circuit is a nearby motorsports racing track that offers driving experiences in a range of classic and modern cars, as well as a calendar of professional bike, car and truck races around the circuit.
If you’re after a proper Welsh seaside experience, a day trip to St Ishmael or Llansteffan on the other side of the River Towy will give you access to sandy beaches and classic coastal attractions. Llansteffan Castle is also nearby, showcasing ruins from the Iron Age with wonderful views out over the sea.
As with many locations in Wales, the best time of year to visit is over the summer when the weather across the Uk will be at its warmest and driest. If you're not too bothered about getting caught in the rain then the town will be much less busy in April-May and September-October, but if you’re planning lots of outdoor activities then July or August will give you the best weather.
