	Carmarthen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Carmarthen is possibly the oldest town in Wales and was recorded by Ptolemy and in the Antonine Itinerary.
		Carmarthen hosted the National Eisteddfod in 1867, 1911 and 1974 although, at least in the case of the 1974 Eisteddfod, the Maes was at Abergwili.
		Carmarthen has a large proportion of Welsh speakers, with the county of Carmarthenshire as a whole boasting the largest population of such by number (the largest Welsh-speaking population by proportion is in Gwynedd).

	Carmarthen - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		CARMARTHEN (Caerfyrddin), a municipal borough, contributory parliamentary borough (united with Llanelly since 1832), and county town of Carmarthenshire, and a county of itself, finely situated on the right bank of the Towy, which is here tidal and navigable for small craft.
		Although historically one of the most important towns in South Wales, Carmarthen can boast of very few ancient buildings, and the general aspect of the town is modern.
		Of the more recent erections in the town, mention may be made of the granite obelisk in memory of General Sir 'Thomas Picton (1758-1815) and the bronze statue of General Sir William Nott (1784-1846).

	Carmarthen Castle
		The castle at Carmarthen, on its rocky eminence overlooking the River Twyi, must have dominated the medieval town just as, a little way to the east, the Roman fort must have dominated the Roman town a thousand years before.
		Carmarthen quickly became the administrative center of south-west Wales as it had been under the Romans, and inevitably underwent a series of attacks and rebuilding episodes during the turbulent struggles between Welsh and English in the 12th and 13th centuries.
		Among these episodes was the capture and destruction of the castle by Llywelyn the Great in 1215, after which extensive rebuilding work was undertaken by William Marshal the younger earl of Pembroke, who had re-captured the castle in 1223.

		CARMARTHEN Town's League of Wales match against Caernarfon Town last Saturday was watched by Gordon brown, a former Scotland and British Lions second row forward, who must have been pleased with the fare provided by both sides on an extremely heavy and well-sanded pitch.
		Although all forteen Carmarthen players who took part performed admirably on the day, the pick of the team were Malcolm Vaughan, Wyn Thomas and the experienced Tony Rees who, dropping into midfield after the departure of Wayne Jones, kept control when the home side were pressing for an equalizer early in the second half.
		Carmarthen's first casualty was Stephen Evans who was forced to leave the field in the first half with a groin injury to be replaced by Wyn Thomas who slotted well to his unaccustomed position in the central defence.

	Carmarthen Town
		Carmarthen itself, although the County town, has suffered from a hotch-potch of development and poor planning over the years with the result that industrial development has taken place close to the town centre - blighting visitors' first impressions.
		Carmarthen would then offer greater choice and be more in line with what is available elsewhere.
		Parking in the city centre is again both expensive and difficult and from Carmarthen it is probably better to go by train or coach.

	The Threat to Carmarthen as a Market Town of distinction
		It is a shame thet the traders took control of the fight, and refused help from people who could have used skills and influence to make the scheme impossible.
		Monday is Carmarthen's quietest day, and no market users would be in town, as most of the stalls are shut.
		But in small but subtle ways it was 'sexed uo' to use the term of the moment, to make the Debenhams, 10 pin bowiling & multiplex options (what, for some reason, many people are calling the Boston option - again more on this later) the outright winner before even the tender was advertised.
