Anyone visiting Carmarthenshire will be instantly struck by its beauty. Carmerthenshire is one of 13 historic counties of Wales , and the one with the nickname "The Garden of Wales". The lands are green and filled with very fertile soil, and several big rivers flow through the county watering the earth plentily. Despite its natural beauty, Carmarthenshire does not attract a whole lot of tourists, so you could call it somewhat of a forgotten gem.
There are signs indicating settlements in this area of Wales from the prehistoric era, likely Neanderthals. Carmarthenshire town was founded by the Romans after which it became a central part of Wales. Northmen offered a great deal of turbulence in the 12th and 13th centuries, but after Edward I of England's subjugation things settled down for a while. After that riots, rebellions and war strifes have taken place and several hillforts and castles from those times are still here to be examined.
Carmarthen is seen upon as the oldest town in Wales.
