Whitland Town Centre

Highlight • Settlement

If you're interested in settlements with long histories, Whitland has plenty of intrigue to offer. Originally a Cistercian abbey was here, which survived until Henry VIII's Dissolution and the ruins can still be seen to the north east of the town.

In 930 AD, it's thought that the first ever Welsh assembly was held here, featuring a group of lawyers and church officials.

Whitland Abbey Ruins

Highlight • Historical Site

Between the 12th and 16th centuries, this was the site of a Cistercian monastery. Today, the abbey's foundations are the only part of it still visible, but well worth taking a look at nonetheless.
