Lovely girl, lovely little visit and a pleasant little video. I'm not a Welshman, although have a Welsh family, and haave lived here many years. So it has always been a surprise to find that the Welsh folk have very little idea of their own history - and Carmarthen probably has more history than anywhere else in Wales. Local architect John Nash was responsible for the newest facade of Buckingham Palace as well as the prisons in Carmarthen and Swansea. He also designed the garden houses in Richmond Terrace. Carmarthen lyricist Brinley Richards wrote the hymn "God Bless the Prince of Wales. Carmarthen was also the principal town involved with The Rebecca and Tollgate Riots. The early corruption of the town's councils, mayor and other officials brought in new legislation nationwide as standard. Carmarthen Court was the scene of the trials of one famous murder and one believed murder. At one time the town was much bigger than Cardiff, and also had a ship-building history for up to 600 tons. There are parts of the old gates that virtually no-one is aware that still exists. There are only seven Roman amphitheatres in GB, with Carmarthen having one of them. The River Towy is famous for its own design of coracles that can be seen active during the summer nights. It is also famous for its early police force known as "The Carmarthen Shilling" - twelve Coppers! The late magician Paul Daniels' great Grandfather was one of them. Legend has it that Merlin the Magician made the claim "Should Merlin's Oak shall tumble down, Then shall fall Carmarthen town." Whether or not true, it's part of the history and fabric of this little town. Some of the main streets are still laid out on the old Roman lines and are worth a stroll around. There is more to this town than meets the casual eye. Where you were filming inside the castle grounds, you saw, but didn't know you were looking at one of the remaining old police county lockups dating from pre-1860, and the replica gallows located behind the locked gate. There are two images associated with early Watchmen (early form of police); one is a photo of a Watchman in London, the other is a drawing of a Carmarthen Watchman known as Will-y-Lon. Both of these figure in Police history all over the UK. Carmarthen is rich in history, and I have only covered snippets of it! Give it another visit Stacey, and although I'm an old man, I'll happily show you around.

Wonderful history of Carmarthen. I'll be going to Gelligaer Roman fort tomorrow so please look out for that. St Gwladys was a princess in medieval times, her son was St Catwg , a pias man known as Catwg the wise. A church and a street was named after him. Carmarthen looks nice, thanks for sharing this. X

Ah - enjoyed that journey with some nice sights of the town/castle🏰 + the lush looking food 🍰😋🥰
