Carmarthen, which overlooks the Towy River, has the ruins of a Norman castle, the site of a Roman amphitheatre, a museum containing Roman relics, and a good selection of shops, pubs, and restaurants. Carmarthenshire is known as the “Garden of Wales,” and its beautiful coast and countryside provide the ideal setting for a variety of activities. There are many country parks, show caves, gold mines, steam railways, and castles to visit, as well as excellent walking, cycling, birdwatching, fishing, and golf.
