Adolygiad y Cyhoeddwr / Publisher Review
The county town of Carmarthenshire, Carmarthen is located on the River Towy, about eight miles to the north of Carmarthen Bay. It is possibly the oldest town in Wales and as such has a long and fascinating history, from its castle, steeped in ancient legends, to the establishment and development of the modern town. Author Dean Hollands takes the reader on a fascinating journey through the mysterious Arthurian legends of the Dark Ages and the Black Death, to those who bore a major influence on the political and social development of the town: Carmarthen has a memorial to Waterloo; a monument to Britain’s former empire; and the town centre is the site where the Bishop of St. David’s was burned at the stake. Secret Carmarthen delves deep into the town's medieval heritage and long-forgotten past, revealing secrets that even most residents don't know about.
