Llandovery
Llandovery is a
traditional Welsh market town in the Upper Towy (Twyi) valley, bounded by three
rivers. Its name means 'church amidst the waters'. It has a historical heritage
dating back to Roman times, was an important drovers’ town and it has ruins of
a Norman castle and also churches and some fine Georgian houses. The striking
statue of Llywelyn ap Gruffydd Fychan, a supporter of Owain Glyndwr's struggle
for Welsh independence, stands by the castle ruins. Close by are Cilycwm,
Rhandirmawn and Llyn Brianne Reservoir which are beautiful places to walk,
cycle or drive. Stop off at the Dinas RSPB Nature Reserve for a stunning walk
along the river and through alder and oak bluebell woodland. Brecfa and
