boxercise, swimming and aqua aerobics, as well as use of the fitness suite.
History of Llandysul
Llandysul and the surrounding Teifi Valley were once the centre
of Wale’s thriving woollen industry. Before the days of electric power, the
river Teifi and its tributaries were used to power dozens of water mills,
whilst the surrounding grassland was stocked with sheep. Today, Rock Mill
remains the last working water mill in the area and is open to visitors wishing
to see traditional weaving methods first hand. Further information on the
history of the Welsh woollen industry can also be found at the National Wool
Museum in nearby Drefach Felindre.
Highlights of the town’s rich history include the charming
13th century building of St Tysul Church, originally founded in the
6th century by Tysul, cousin to David, patron saint of Wales. Within
the church a collection of early Christian inscribed stones can be found in the
choir vestry and the Lady Chapel. The bell tower houses a ring of six bells
which can be heard across Llandysul on a Wednesday evening, courtesy of the
Llandysul Band of Bellringers.
