I photograph the Kites here. It offers a different photographic background to Gigrin Farm and there is ample opportunity for good pictures. The owner Peter is helpful and insightful. This place is just awesome 👌 to see hundreds, and I mean hundreds of red kites soaring above ypu prior to is just something else. I would highly recommend it if you love seeing wildlife and especially birds of prey👌 Absolutely fantastic. There were so many red kites, it would be impossible to count. It was stunning watching them all swoop down for the food My 89 year old dad said it was one of the most beautiful things he'd ever seen. Lovely people running it. Ideal for seeing the kites up close! Great photographic experience if you want photos. Owner informed us he’s selling-up and I think a farmer who owns the land is taking over the feeding. Present owner is absolutely brilliant. On our visit today, there were too many kites to count. Two quite large hides. You can stand outside the hides but, the Kites prefer you stay inside. Location is quite isolated so we took our own food and coffee. We arrived 1hour before and carpark wasn’t even half-full. Car-park is approx a 5min walk to the area. We’ll sign-posted. There is a Caravan Park next to the car-park which is owned by separate owners to the Centre. A nice spot near the Brecon Beacons - with Kites! Lots of Kites. I'm actually a passionate bird photographer so this was a real treat for me. The views are great and the birds come very close. I've attached some photos that I took there on our visit. Be aware that admission on the day is cash only. I love this place for red kite photography at time. It's just a shame the cafe has closed down, but there is a mobile cafe serviced by two young very polite people. The mobile toilets are serviced regularly so kept clean. A wonderful experience, the sky was filled with about 50+ beautiful red kites coming to feed, set against the rolling Carmarthenshire hills. So pleased we made the effort to get there. It was a bit of a drive from Carmarthen- be careful with sat nav as it can take you down some very narrow country lanes, that whilst stunning, are a bit hairy! Thankfully we only met one other car in a 45 minute drive...phew! Very friendly and informative staff. A little difficult to find as not very well sign posted. Got lost a couple of times but still made the time, which is now 3 o' clock as it is BST. The station has been running for 27 years as I was informed, so the lady couldn't understand why I got lost. Also there are no toilet facilities, which after 27 years you would have thought there would have been some installed by now. A couple of hides to take photos from. Take a jacket or coat as it was cold in there today. There is a standing viewing area and a seated area, which are separate but a good view can be had from both areas. The Kites did not disappoint. Beautiful birds. The whole area has many Kites but it was good to see them close up. Dogs are welcome and are encouraged to bring them into the hide and not leave them in the car. Not a bad way to spend an hour or two.
