MenuLlandovery, Carmarthenshire
Llandovery is a market town in Carmarthenshire, standing on the River Tywi. The town include the remains of Llandovery Castle, built in 1110 and almost immediately captured by the Welsh, changing hands between Normans and Welsh until the reign of King Edward I. The castle was used by King Henry IV while on a sortie into Wales when he executed Llywelyn ap Gruffydd Fychan in the marketplace. A 16-foot-high stainless steel statue to Llywelyn ap Gruffydd Fychan stands on the north side of Llandovery Castle. The town is within the council area of Carmarthenshire.
