Glyn Tegai Hughes, Meic Stephens and R. Brinley Jones, eds, Writers of Wales – Williams Pantycelyn, University Press of Wales on behalf of the Welsh Arts Council, 1983. The town of Llandovery owes its origin to its position at an important bridging point on the River Tywi. This was recognised by the Romans who established a fort, and later by the Normans whose ruined castle can still be seen. Spend some time exploring the nearby Brecon Beacons, the Usk Reservoir and the towns of Llanwrtyd Wells and Llandeilo. The Castle has a history both as a Norman and a Welsh stronghold, the round tower or keep, still remains along with a shell wall of 13th century date. A small stream, the Dyfri, was diverted to form a water-filled ditch around the castle.
