Carmarthen Town Centre, Wales
Carmarthen Town Centre including the castle and the statue of General Nott (who in case you were wondering was a victorian hero from the Afgan wars); see
As the Afgan wars were pretty much a disaster for Britain, Nott is an unusual hero. The bronze statue was cast from cannon captured at the Battle of Maharajpur. Queen Victoria gave 200 guineas to the memorial fund.

Carmarthen Castle is based near the centre of the town about five to 10 minuities walk, It has sitting outside and it is a nice ruin of a castle to look around. Outside the castle their are information boards to tell you information about Carmarthen Castle. You do have to go up a hill to reach the Castle, so not the best place for people with walking difficulties.

A field in the neighbouring forest of Kingswood, Maes Gwenllian is known as the location of a battle in 1136, in which Princess Gwenllian, sister of Owain Gwynedd, led her husband's troops into battle against a Norman army during his absence. She is believed to have been killed either during the battle or shortly afterwards, historians debate whether her death was at Maes Gwenllian or if she was marched back to Kidwelly Castle to be beheaded there.
Although being an ancient town, Kidwelly grew significantly during the industrial revolution, as did many other towns in southern Wales. The town was home to a large brickworks and tinworks. Little evidence now exists of such activities since the closure of the industrial works, with the exception of Kidwelly Industrial Museum.
Local attractions include Kidwelly Castle, founded in 1106; a fourteenth-century bridge and gate; the former quay (now a nature reserve); a Norman parish church, and an industrial museum. Kidwelly Carnival is an annual event held on the second Saturday of July. Previous carnivals have featured aerial displays. The town is twinned with French village Saint-Jacut-de-la-Mer.
Kidwelly is connected to Llanelli and Carmarthen by the A484 road. There are local buses running through Kidwelly, linking the town with Llanelli and Carmarthen, with a main stop in the town centre. Some services were withdrawn in 2014. Kidwelly railway station is on the West Wales Line. Westbound services from Kidwelly terminate at Carmarthen or Pembroke Dock, with less frequent direct services to Fishguard and Milford Haven. - Pembrey Airport is approximately 3 miles (4.8 km) east of Kidwelly.

Carmarthen
Carmarthen is a community in, and the county town of, Carmarthenshire, Wales. It is on the River Towy 8 miles (13 km) north of its mouth at Carmarthen Bay. In 2001, the population was 15,854.
Carmarthen claims to be the oldest town in Wales but the two settlements of Old and New Carmarthen were only united into a single borough in 1546. Carmarthen was the most populous borough in Wales between the 16th and 18th centuries and was described by William Camden as the chief citie of the country. However, population growth stagnated by the mid 19th century as more dynamic economic centres developed in the South Wales coalfield. Carmarthen is the location of the headquarters of Dyfed-Powys Police, the Carmarthen campus of the University of Wales, Trinity Saint David and Glangwili General Hospital.
History
Early history
Main article: Moridunum (Carmarthen)
See also: Black Book of Carmarthen
When Britannia was a Roman province, Carmarthen was the civitas capital of the Demetae tribe, known as Moridunum (Sea Fort). Carmarthen is possibly the oldest town in Wales and was recorded by Ptolemy and the Antonine Itinerary. The Roman fort is believed to date from around AD 75. A Roman coin hoard was found nearby in 2006. Near the fort is one of seven surviving Roman amphitheatres in the United Kingdom and one of only two in Roman Wales (the other being at Isca Augusta, Roman Caerleon). It was excavated in 1968. The arena itself is 50 x 30 yards (about 46 by 27 metres); the cavea (seating area) is 100 x 73 yards (92 by 67 metres). Veprauskas has argued for its identification as the Cair Guorthigirn (Fort Vortigern) listed by Nennius among the 28 cities of Britain in his History of the Britains.
In the Middle Ages, the settlement was known as Llanteulyddog ('St Teulyddog's)[9] and accounted one of the seven principal sees in Dyfed. The strategic importance of Carmarthen was such that the Norman William fitz Baldwin built a castle there, probably around 1094. The current castle site is known to have been used since 1105. The castle was destroyed by Llywelyn the Great in 1215. In 1223, the castle was rebuilt and permission was received to wall and crenellate the town. Carmarthen was among the first medieval walled towns in Wales. In 1405, the town was taken and the castle was sacked by Owain Glyndŵr. The Black Book of Carmarthen, written around 1250, is associated with the town's Priory of SS John the Evangelist and Teulyddog.
During the Black Death of 1347–49, the plague was brought to Carmarthen by the thriving river trade. The Black Death destroy'd and devastated villages such as Llanllwch. Local historians place the plague pit, the site for mass burial of the dead, in the graveyard that adjoins the Maes-yr-Ysgol and Llys Model housing at the rear of St Catherine Street.
Margam Country Park South Wales UK

West Wales Line, March 2019, Part 2: Carmarthen - Tenby
Built as one of Brunel's 'Grand Designs', the 70 mile journey from Swansea to Pembroke Dock follows coastline and river estuaries, linking the towns and villages of Pembrokeshire.
Having reversed direction at Carmarthen we continue across small river valleys to Whitland, where, after a quick stop at the signal box we continue into the station. Branching off from the mainline to Fishguard, we begin by heading up Lampeter Vale before heading up into the hills, passing Narberth and heading down towards Kilgetty and Saundersfoot, with Part 2 coming to a conclusion as we arrive at the coatal resort of Tenby.

Brecon, archaically known as Brecknock, is a market town and community in Powys, Mid Wales. Historically it was the county town of Brecknockshire; although its role as such was eclipsed with the formation of the County of Powys, it remains an important local centre. Brecon is the third-largest town in Powys, after Newtown and Ystradgynlais. It lies north of the Brecon Beacons mountain range, but is just within the Brecon Beacons National Park.
The west end of Brecon has a small industrial area, and recent years have seen the cattle market moved from the centre of the town to this area, with markets held several times a week. Brecon has primary schools, with a secondary school and further education college (Coleg Powys) on the northern edge of the town. The town is home to Christ College, the oldest school in Wales.
Brecon is located near where the east-west A40 (Monmouth-Carmarthen-Fishguard) meets the north-south A470 (Cardiff-Merthyr Tydfil-Llandudno). The nearest airport is Cardiff Airport. The Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal runs for 35 miles (56 km) between Brecon and Pontnewydd, Cwmbran.
The Usk Bridge in Brecon, Powys, Wales is the town's oldest route over the River Usk. The river was fordable at Brecon and the date of construction of the original bridge here is uncertain.The Hereford, Hay and Brecon Railway was opened gradually from Hereford towards Brecon.
