Holiday Cottages in Lampeter
Lampeter is a pretty Welsh market town in the Teifi valley. That puts it somewhere central between Snowdonia, Pembrokeshire and the Brecon Beacons, which once required it to have five tollgates. From your Lampeter holiday cottage take the town trail or visit the Museum to discover more.
Bring your National Trust card to discover a rich history beginning with Roman’s mining gold at nearby Dolaucothi. Lingering ties to market town culture abound. Once a meeting place for 18th century drovers, depending on when you visit today you might catch a cattle market or a horse fair. The rich quilting heritage of the region is on display at the Welsh Quilt Centre and nearby Denmark Farm proactively conserves country crafts.
Bright sparks are drawn to Lampeter University, which began as St David’s College – the third establishment in England and Wales to award degrees. Foodie holidays in Wales centre around the annual Lampeter Food Festival. Whenever you visit, the fourth generation Conti’s ice cream cafe goes down a treat after a fish and chip supper.
