Llandovery
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Llandovery (Welsh: Llanymddyfri) is a market town in Carmarthenshire, Wales, lying on the River Tywi and the A40 road.
The town was known to the Romans as Alabum, who built a fort on Llanfair Hill around AD 50 to 60.
Attractions in the town include the remains of Llandovery Castle, a charity-run theatre (Llandovery Theatre), and a heritage centre. Tourists and bikers often stop in town,especially at the cafe opposite the castle ruins, on their way through Wales on the A40.
Famous people associated with Llandovery include outlaw Twm Siôn Cati and hymn writer William Williams .
Llandovery is twinned with Pluguffan, France.

The small and pretty village of Myddfai is located four miles to the South east.
The Llyn_Brianne dam is approximately 10 miles to the North located in rugged and impressive countryside.
