    Daugleddau Estuary at Black Tar
  • Sometimes called the secret waterway, this inland area stretches from Carew to the A40 at Slebech.
  • At one time this whole area was dotted with small coal mines producing good quality anthracite. The mines are long gone now.
  • There are several Norman Castles in the area including, Carew Castle and Picton Castle. Carew is a historic ruin in a picturesque riverside location. Picton is now a Grand Country House. Both can be visited, unlike Benton Castle, which is private.
  • Two mills, one next to Carew Castle, the other at Blackpool Mill near Canaston Bridge can also be visited.
  • The best places to explore this area are Cresswell Quay, Carew, Lawrenny and Landshipping
  • A long distance circular walk called The Landsker Borderlands Trail runs around the eastern bank of the Daugleddau
  • Cwm Deri vineyard can be found at Martletwy, just outside the National Park
