About Carmarthen

Carmarthen, the main hub town of Carmarthenshire and centre for transport routes around the county, is a neat little town indeed. Crammed with pretty shops and framed by the River Towy, which now has what seems like the obligatory sail bridge over it, it's a good central base for exploring Carmarthenshire and indeed for pushing into Pembrokeshire via the fast A40.

There's a fair sprinkling of Arthurian legend here in Carmarthen - wizard Merlin or Myrddin in Welsh) is thought to have been born here in Carmarthen. Various Merlin and Arthur legend shops are dotted about the town.

Note too the storybook design of County Hall overlooking the River Tywi which looks like it's jumped straight out of a Grimms Brothers fairytale. What's left of Carmarthen Castle sits next to it. County Hall was designed by the renowned architect John Nash (1752-1835). Son of a Welsh Millwright, Nash's work includes a list of London buildings including a remodelling of Buckingham Palace and Marble Arch.
