Ferryside is a really pretty little village in Carmarthenshire on the estuary of the River Tywi. There used to be a ferry crossing here, hence the name, but latterly became a fishing village and these days the main industry is tourism.

Free parking opposite the convenience store/pub. Cafe on the foreshore is excellent.
