Visit the Museum of Land Speed

The Museum of Land Speed is close to a public bus route that connect to many towns and villages in the region.

From Carmarthen

The 222 service from Carmarthen to Pendine stops opposite the main car park for the Museum once in the morning and three times in the afternoon. The service runs Mondays to Saturdays (excluding Bank Holidays).

From Tenby

The 351 service from Tenby to Pendine (via Saundersfoot) stops opposite the main car park for the Museum once in the morning and twice in the afternoon. The service runs Mondays to Saturdays (excluding Bank Holidays).

The nearest train station to Pendine is in Whitland, just off the B4328. Trains stop here regularly from both the Carmarthen and Tenby directions.

From Whitland, two bus services connect to St Clears, from where you can catch the 222 service to Pendine. 

The 224 service (Whitland to Carmarthen) stops at the Whitland Railway Station once in the early morning and once in mid-afternoon and runs Mondays to Saturdays (excluding Bank Holidays). 

The 322 service (Haverfordwest to Carmarthen) stops at both Keefe House and the Whitland Spar - each a 5-minute walk from the train station - once in the morning and twice in the afternoon. The service runs Mondays to Saturdays (excluding Bank Holidays).

Carmarthenshire is renowned as the home of cycling in Wales with numerous opportunities to cycle on and off road.

The Museum of Land Speed is located just off National Cycle Route 4 that runs inland from Laugharne to the nearby village of Marros and then on to Amroth and Saundersfoot in Pembrokeshire.

To the east, the path offers a great opportunity to visit Dylan Thomas's last home at the Boathouse in Laugharne. Purchase a weekly ticket at the Museum of Land Speed and you'll not only gain free admission to the site as many times as you like over the next seven days, but you'll also get free admission to the Boathouse, too. The eastern path continues on to link up with Carmarthen, taking in the magnificent views across Carmarthen Bay and the Gower. Follow the path south to reach the family-friendly Pembrey Country Park and stop off at the vibrant community hub of Parc Y Bocs in Kidwelly on the way. Travelling westward, Cycle Route 4 will take you to the vibrant seaside town of Tenby, then onwards around the coast to Pembroke, Haverfordwest and the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park.

Taking a detour from Cycle Route 4 through Carmarthen and on into the Tywi Valley is worth the reward. Another museum in the CofGâr family - Carmarthenshire Museum - lies at one end of the 16.7 mile-long Tywi Valley Cycle Path, which is expected to open fully in autumn/winter 2025, with the eastern end connecting with Ffairfach and Llandeilo. Attractions such as National Trust Dinefwr, Aberglasney Gardens, and Dryslwyn Castle will all be accessible from the Cycle Path. 

Connecting with the Tywi Valley Cycle Path is the National Cycle Route 47, which runs from Newport to Fishguard, whilst taking in several towns and villages across Carmarthenshire, such as Llanelli, Tumble, Cross Hands, Porthyrhyd, Carmarthen, Bronwydd Arms, Talog and Trelech. Following Route 47 south from the Museum will bring you to the renowned National Botanic Garden of Wales and the British Bird of Prey Centre and, if you have the energy, all the way to one of our sister museums - Parc Howard Museum - in Llanelli. Heading north will take you past the fun-filled Gwili Steam Railway and on to the spectacular Pembrokeshire Coast National Park.

Alternatively, if you'd like to test yourself at the venue that developed 2024 Olympic Gold Medallist Emma Finucane, then book a session at Carmarthen Velodrome. This refurbished track is one of the oldest velodromes in Wales and dates back to 1900.

Directions

From the east

The best way to find the Museum of Land Speed is to head along the A40 to St Clears from Carmarthen. Turn off just before the roundabout onto the slip road, then turn left and head south along the A4066 towards Laugharne. Continue along the A4066 into Pendine and look for the brown sign in the centre of the village that points to the right, into the main car park.

From the west

If visiting from the west, there are two choices of route. You can follow the A40 to St Clears roundabout, then take the first exit down the Tenby Road (A4066). At the traffic lights in the town centre, turn right along the High Street (A4066) that leads south towards Laugharne. Continue along the A4066 into Pendine and look for the brown sign in the centre of the village that points to the right, into the main car park.

Alternatively, if you're approaching from the south-west, head along the A477 and turn right towards Red Roses after passing Llanteg and Crunwere Farm. Once in Red Roses, turn right again along the B4314 and stay on this road until you reach Pendine. Follow the B4314 down Pendine hill until it joins the A4066 after the Springwell Inn bend, then proceed straight until you see the brown museum sign pointing to the right into the main car park. 

Our address is Museum of Land Speed, Marsh Road, Pendine, SA33 4NY.
