Our Top Hotels
Steeped in history, Newcastle Emlyn lies within the cantref of Emlyn, a part of the medieval district of Dyfed. This former Norman March's pride is its 13th-century ruined castle, adding a touch of mystery and romance to the scenic town! Today, the town is home to just over 1,800 individuals, with a significant percentage speaking fluent Welsh, making it a true testament to Welsh culture and language.
The town offers a variety of attractions, ranging from art galleries and the Attic Theatre company to the National Woollen Museum. What’s more, it even hosted the Urdd National Eisteddfod, a significant Welsh-language youth festival, in 1981. To add to its charm, Newcastle Emlyn has an intriguing legend of the Wyvern of Newcastle Emlyn, a winged creature that used to terrorise the town. The tale adds an air of myth and legend to this already captivating locale.
When to visit Newcastle Emlyn
Wales’ weather can be quite changeable. However, the best times to visit Newcastle Emlyn are when the weather is milder and more settled. This is typically during late July, August, and September, where you can delight in the warmth and enjoy the outdoors. During these months, daytime temperatures often hover around 18.5°C, making it ideal for day trips and long walks by the river.
For minimal rainfall and excellent opportunities to take in the beautiful Welsh countryside, plan to visit during the drier months of March, April, and September. If you're planning a family outing, spring and summer are ideal, offering favourable weather and fewer crowds.
