Llandeilo

Introduction by Greg Stevenson

The story of Llandeilo starts in the Roman period. With its fertile land, and gold in the hills around Dolaucothi, it is no surprise that the Romans wanted to control this valley. Two roman forts have been found during excavations here in Dinefwr park.

Dinefwr was the seat of the Princes of the Southern Counties, and thus the town of Llandeilo has long been affected by the fortunes of Dinefwr. The castle is an important Welsh castle, built by Rhys Grug, Rhys Mewchyll and Rhys Fychan until surrender to Edward I in 1277
