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.

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 Some services were withdrawn in 2014.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.

Places to see in ( Llanelli - UK )
Llanelli, the largest town in both the county of Carmarthenshire and the preserved county of Dyfed, Wales, sits on the Loughor estuary on the West Wales coast, approximately 10 miles west-northwest of Swansea and 12 miles (19 km) south-east of the county town, Carmarthen. The town of Llanelli is famous for its proud rugby tradition and is a centre of tinplate production.
Llanelli is surrounded by a number of villages and communities in the Llanelli Rural district. Some of these communities, especially ones that immediately surround the town, are often unofficially referred to as Llanelli. In many respects, Llanelli represents a continuation of the Newport-Cardiff-Swansea metropolitan belt into the more rural West of Wales; or conversely the start of the same.
Over the past decade, the emphasis on heavy industry that once played an important part in the district has changed to an emphasis on creating tertiary sector employment in leisure and tourism. Llanelli is now being developed as a leisure and tourism destination, with many ongoing developments such as the new Llanelli Scarlets rugby stadium, the Old Castle Works leisure village and a National Hunt racecourse at Ffos Las near Trimsaran. Machynys Ponds, a Site of Special Scientific Interest notable for its dragonfly population, is 1 mile (1.6 km) to the south of Llanelli.
The Millennium Coastal Path, which spans 13 miles (21 km) of coastline from Loughor to Pembrey, offers views of the Gower Peninsula and the opportunity for traffic-free cycling. National Wetlands Centre, about 1-mile (1.6 km) east of Llanelli, is one of nine wetland nature reserves managed by the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust. Llanelly House is one of Llanelli's most historic properties, an example of an early 18th-century Georgian town house. The house, located directly opposite the parish church, is currently in a poor state of repair, however the town council has recently purchased it with plans to completely restore the house for civic and public use. Parc Howard Museum is set in the grounds of Park Howard.
Llanelli is on the south coast of West Wales and is linked to many national locations via road, rail and air services. Rail provides an important link to the town from Llanelli railway station which is located at Great Western Crescent south of the town centre. Llanelli is connected to the National Cycle Network from the north on NCR 43.

History of Wales
The history of Wales begins with the arrival of human beings in the region thousands of years ago. Neanderthals lived in what is now Wales, or Cymru in Welsh, at least 230,000 years ago. Homo sapiens had arrived by about 31,000 BC. However, continuous habitation by modern humans dates from the period after the end of the last ice age around 9000 BC, and Wales has many remains from the Mesolithic, Neolithic, and Bronze Age. During the Iron Age the region, like all of Britain south of the Firth of Forth, was dominated by the Celtic Britons and the British language. The Romans, who began their conquest of Britain in AD 43, first campaigned in what is now northeast Wales in 48 against the Deceangli, and gained total control of the region with their defeat of the Ordovices in 79. The Romans departed from Britain in the 5th century, opening the door for the Anglo-Saxon invasion. Thereafter British language and culture began to splinter, and several distinct groups formed. The Welsh people were the largest of these groups, and are generally discussed independently of the other surviving Brythonic-speaking peoples after the 11th century.
A number of kingdoms formed in the area now called Wales in the post-Roman period. While the most powerful ruler was acknowledged as King of the Britons, and some rulers extended their control over other Welsh territories and into western England, none were able to unite Wales for long. Internecine struggles and external pressure from the English and later, the Norman conquerors of England, led to the Welsh kingdoms coming gradually under the sway of the English crown. In 1282, the death of Llywelyn ap Gruffudd led to the conquest of the Principality of Wales by King Edward I of England; afterwards, the heir apparent to the English monarch has borne the title Prince of Wales. The Welsh launched several revolts against English rule, the last significant one being that led by Owain Glyndŵr in the early 15th century. In the 16th century Henry VIII, himself of Welsh extraction as a great grandson of Owen Tudor, passed the Laws in Wales Acts aiming to fully incorporate Wales into the Kingdom of England. Under England's authority, Wales became part of the Kingdom of Great Britain in 1707 and then the United Kingdom in 1801. Yet, the Welsh retained their language and culture in spite of heavy English dominance. The publication of the extremely significant first complete Welsh translation of the Bible by William Morgan in 1588 greatly advanced the position of Welsh as a literary language.

Traditional handmade Weaving on Dobcross looms.
Taken at the National Wool Museum of Wales, Drefach Felindre. Listen to the noise of the old traditional looms, no mass production here, all handmade. And look at iconic Welsh tapestry blankets being woven. Just amazing.
The weaving of Welsh Blankets and the Welsh woollen manufacturing industry in general was historically one of the most important industries in all parts of Wales. However it was in the Teifi valley in what is now Ceredigion and it's neighbouring counties of north Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire that the wool industry was at its most prolific during the latter parts of the 19th and 20th century.

Shipwrecks - Receivers of the Wreck
Performed on a specially commissioned structure by the sculptural artist Will Datson, with a soundscape by Craig Byrne and set & costume design by Ruth Stringer during the 2017 Taliesin Dance Days at the National Waterfront Museum.
'Shipwrecks' is inspired by stories of historical shipwrecks around the Welsh coast, through to the modern day where vast vessels trawl, transport, and dump the spoils of our global economy. ‘Ghost Fishing’ is a term for the flotsam and jetsam of modern trawling cut loose in the seas that continues to do its job, even though no-one is benefitting from it. Our Ghost Fishers are a band of shipwreck survivor-scavengers lost in time, who dredge and sift through this debris to bring the human stories laying the ocean’s floor up to the daylight. Acclaimed South Wales circus-dance-theatre company Citrus Arts are a creative force in mixing contemporary circus with theatre, dance, and progressive thinking. It is a Wales based company founded in 2009 by artists James and Bridie Doyle-Roberts. Their shared backgrounds in circus, street theatre, drama, dance, and education projects, have given them opportunities to work alongside, learn, and share expertise from some of Europe's leading practitioners in an exciting range of places and situations.
