Learn more about hotels in Carmarthen

Carmarthen is the county town of Carmarthenshire, faithfully serving as a community in Wales for centuries. Boasting a rich tapestry of history, the town enthralls visitors with stories ranging from its Roman roots to its Middle Ages glory. The remnants of its Roman-influenced past can still be seen in the town's surviving amphitheatre and ancient fort while the lingering spirit of the Middle Ages speaks through its Norman castle ruins.

Once a bustling hub in the 16th to 18th centuries, Carmarthen today exhibits a fine blend of its past and present. The Benedictine and Augustinian priories that existed during the Middle Ages have left the town a rich religious heritage, further complemented by the Franciscan friars that were established later on. Today, the population stands at a comfortable size, reflecting the comfortable charm and intimacy this Welsh town has to offer.

When to visit Carmarthen

If you're planning a visit, the best times to enjoy Carmarthen's hospitable weather are during the summer months of June through to September. The town basks in warm, pleasant temperatures, making it the perfect time for sightseeing and outdoor activities.

However, if you prefer quieter times, consider visiting in January. Despite being the coldest month, it also sees the least amount of tourists, paving the way for a peaceful and personal experience. Be mindful of the rainier months, especially January, October, November, and December, if you would like to avoid getting wet. Regardless of when you decide to visit, Carmarthen always extends a warm Welsh welcome.
