LlandysulSet in the deep and picturesque valley of the River Teifi, this traditional little Welsh town was another centre of the woollen industry. Located in the former Cambrian Mills just outside the town, the National Wool Museum presents a comprehensive history of the Welsh woollen industry. Visitors can follow the production process from fleece to fabric and a working mill can be seen in operation producing fabrics in traditional Welsh patterns. The extensive displays here include the National Flat Textile Collection and the museum hosts regular exhibitions.Llandysul was the birthplace, in 1766 of Christmas Evans, a Baptist minister who was famed for his fiery, emotional sermons. The son of a cobbler, he was orphaned early in life and lost one eye in a boyhood accident. He didn’t learn to read until he was 17 but went on to become a Baptist minister. He had intended to be a Presbyterian minister but the Presbyterians required qualifications that he did not have. Today, this tranquil little town is renowned for its outstanding scenic views, fishing and white water canoeing as well as for the delights of its Victorian town centre.A few miles up the A486, Ffostrasol is the setting for the annual Cnapan Folk Festival, the largest Celtic folk music event on the British mainland. |
