Whitland, The Hywel Dda Centre, Whitland

Whitland is a small market town on the Carmarthenshire/Pembrokeshire border and has an important place in the history of Wales. During the first half of the tenth century, according to tradition Hywel Dda "King of all Wales", summoned representatives from all over Wales to an assembly at Whitland in order to codify laws. There is also the ruins of the Cistercian Abbey outside the towns. In its heyday Whitland Railway Station was a busy place. The town continues to have good road and rail links to all parts of the UK.
