About Newcastle Emlyn

Newcastle Emlyn’s ruined castle harks back to tumultuous times when Norman lords and fiery Welsh chieftains vied for supremacy.

The Rough Guide to Wales says about Newcastle Emlyn: “The castle is tucked away at the bottom of dead-end Castle Terrace, which peels off the main street by a squat little stone town hall, topped by a curiously phallic cupola.”

“Although there are few other sights in the town there are at least some great pubs and places to eat, and with its strong sense of community, unhurried charm and fabulous scenery, Newcastle Emlyn is a good base from which to explore the surrounding area.”
