Nestling on the banks of the river Teifi, Llandysul and
Pont Tyweli is a traditional unspoilt small market town. |
Built around its ancient church, a large
proportion is now quite rightly a conservation area.
Standing on one of the finest fishing rivers in Wales, it is famous for its salmon
and sewin (sea trout) as well as for its white water canoeing. |
St Tysul Church |
The Tyweli entering the
Teifi
and the bridge or pont of Pont Tyweli. |
Before the days of electricity, the rushing rivers
of the Teifi and its tributaries drove many waterwheels
in the area and Llandysul was no exception. Whilst
none still operate commercially, several buildings
can be recognised as former mills.
Llandysul and Pont Tyweli are
ideally situated for exploring the varied and beautiful
counties of Ceredigion,
Pembrokeshire, Carmarthenshire and the Brecon Beacons.
They are almost equidistant from the larger towns of
Cardigan, Carmarthen and Lampeter.
Whilst it is an excellent centre
for walkers and cyclists, it also has all the major
banks and an exciting array of shops and a fortnightly
cattle market.
In other words … it
is well worth a visit ! |
