Overview 

On the West Wales line, Whitland station serves the Carmarthenshire town of Whitland. Forming part of the route from Cardiff in the southeast to Haverfordwest in Pembrokeshire, the station was opened in 1854, and has undergone several rebuilds since.

Lying between the rivers Tâf and Afon Gronw, Whitland is a charming rural town with a rich history. Site of the first Welsh parliament tasked with codifying the country’s laws and called by Hywel Dda in 930, Whitland has an important place in the history books. Hywel Dda was a highly accomplished ruler, minting his own coins, making a pilgrimage to Rome, and using diplomacy to gain an advantage for Wales over England.
