Ffos Las Racecourse

M4, Junction 48

Midway between Carmarthen and Llanelli

Ffos Las opened on June 18th 2009 and stages both National Hunt and Flat fixtures. It brings top class racing back to West Wales for the first time since 1937.

The course is located in Carmarthenshire between Llanelli and Carmarthen, and is only 15 minutes from junction M4 Junction 48, and only an hour’s drive from the Irish Ferry terminals of Pembroke Dock and Fishguard.

In a magnificent setting – surrounded by rolling hills and beautiful countryside, with a view down the Gwendraeth Valley to Carmarthen Bay – it’s hard to imagine that the site was once occupied by the largest open cast coal mine in Europe.

This racecourse has been created by South Wales civil engineering company The Walters Group, and the driving force behind it is the company chairman and racehorse owner Mr David Walters.

The track’s racing surface rivals those of any course in the world and is a track to race on and a great viewing track for the race-goer.

One of the main focal points at Ffos Las is an amazing sculpture, the “Spirit of the Race” created by local artist Chris Crane and situated in front of the Winner’s Enclosure.

Facilities are excellent, including ample free parking, a large stand housing plenty of bars and betting outlets.
