Carmarthen - Town Centre Panorama | Wales | UK - 4k 360°

Carmarthen sits on the banks of the River Tywi, some 8 miles before this beautiful river flows into Carmarthen Bay. Here Wales’ longest river is still tidal, which is why at one time Carmarthen was reputed to be the biggest port in Wales. Over the centuries the river has shaped the story of the town, providing, defence, leisure opportunities and livelihoods. Fishing the Tywi from coracles has happened in Carmarthen since before the Romans came. Now, very few Coracle Fishermen remain but it’s still possible to see them fishing for river trout (sewin) in the traditional Carmarthen coracles. Some say that Carmarthen is the oldest town in Wales, and It has a rich and colourful history. Today Carmarthen remains the County Town and County Hall stands proudly above the River Tywi alongside Carmarthen Castle.
