Despite residing to the west of the national park boundary, the village of Llangadog is generally thought of as the end point of the Beacons Way long-distance footpath. Its accommodation options and rail links make it a more suitable termination than the official end point in the nearby village of Bethlehem.
The village is home to the Red Lion and the Goose and Cuckoo, which both serve pub food and offer lodgings. The railway station is on the Heart of Wales Line, which runs from Shropshire to Llanelli, and you can also catch direct trains to Swansea.
