Welcome to Llandovery: The Heart of Wales

Llandovery Town and Castle

You have chosen a special place for your stay. Llandovery (Llanymddyfri) is not just a pretty market town; it is a place where the rivers meet and history runs deep.

Known as the "Church amidst the waters," our town sits where the rivers Tywi, Brân, and Gwydderig converge. For two thousand years, this strategic spot has been a Roman fort, a Norman stronghold, and a bustling hub for the famous Welsh Drovers.

Today, Llandovery is a proud "Walkers are Welcome" town and a stronghold of the Welsh language. Beneath its picturesque facade lies a story of princes, poets, and pioneers.
