This route is too narrow for bigger vehicles (i.e. Coaches) which are likely to
get damaged, will block all traffic to and from the Community
and cause inconvenience and potential danger to our neighbours.

(approx 4 hours from London) i.e the Pont Abraham Service Area.

exit onto the A48(signposted Carmarthen)
