Burry Port is a kind but thorny fishing town in West Wales, with a wild, beautiful coast as its glistening apron and green, feathered hills for a background. Blink and you drive through it but should you choose to stay a while, there is a whole host of things to see and learn about from looters to whirlpools. Welcome to Burry!
