Llandovery Cake: Part 2
Another excellent cake stop discovered in Llandovery: the Penygawse tea room. A superbly large pot of tea (Darjeeling) per person and a wonderful choice of cake. I had the scone: instead of being "giant" as described, I got 2 smaller ones which felt like very good value. The jam was lovely. The chocolate brownie was very nice as well - not too dense but with choc chips. Excellent service too. Just what you want after a walk round the Usk Reservoir.
And a big black mark for Trecastle's so-called Tea Room: "Closed" by 4.15pm on a Sunday but with all their advertising blackboards still out on the road to lure people in. Definitely won't be bothering with them again. Sniff.

Carreg Cennan Castle
A very fine carrot cake indeed at the craft shop and cafe at the foot of Carreg Cennan Castle. Not too much creamy icing - just a layer on top - and very wholesome cake indeed. Just what was needed after a scorching 4 mile walk round the castle on a very hot day.
Just experimenting with a map of where it is from Wikimapia:
