Lovely park in Carmarthen. You can park at Tesco and walk round here as long as you’re shopping of course 😬 it has lots of benches, a park, a nice velodrome which is good to sit and watch people. Nice little hidden place in the town

Test your speed on the Carmarthen Velodrome. The velodrome is just over 400 metres long, and was opened in 1900, and is believed to be the oldest outdoor concrete velodrome in continuous use in the world. Members of the public are able to access and use the cycle track (not the changing rooms) free of charge Monday to Friday between 9am and 6pm, Sundays (all day) and during other specific periods as determined by CTC.

Carmarthen Roman Amphitheatre is one of only seven Roman amphitheatres that survive in the UK. Dating to around 75 AD, the amphitheatre would have been the social centre of Roman Carmarthen. These days, it's a pleasant place to stop for a moment to soak in the history.

Carmarthen is thought to be the oldest town in Wales. The Roman fort dates to around 75 AD. The town’s medieval castle is also worth a visit. There are plenty of places to eat and drink, shops, and accommodation, making it a great place for a refresh stop or an overnight stay.

Carmarthen Roman Amphitheatre is one of only seven Roman amphitheatres that survive in the UK. Dating to around 75 AD, the amphitheatre would have been the social centre of Roman Carmarthen. It would have played host to many things, including gladiatorial combats, public executions, man vs beast battles, military parades and holy celebrations. These days, it's a pleasant place to stop for a moment to soak in the history.

Carmarthen Castle is a fortress in the centre of town, overlooking the River Towy. The first recorded mention of the castle is 1094. However, it was possibly in another location, further downstream. By 1106, the castle is believed to be on its present site. The castle was turned into a prison in the 18th and 19th centuries and is now used as council offices.
