By midday the morning trading is virtually done and the last sheep are being loaded.

Part of Sycamore Street in Newcastle Emlyn

It's a pleasure to walk down such a busy high street with its variety of small independent traders seemingly happily co-existing cheek-by-jowl with some of the usual national retail chains and major banks. Lots of colour, plenty of individuality and obviously tailored to a local customer base.

The old Town Hall and Bridge Street, Newcastle Emlyn

Newcastle Emlyn has main streets packed with varied and interesting architecture, plenty of history and topical interest today, a nice combination.

Entrance to Castell Newydd Emlyn

The ruins of the castle gatehouse stand beyond this new gateway which incorporates a piece of public art in the form of a dragon. At first I thought it was a sea or river creature, possibly due to the wave motif on the gate. Why does some public art prompt more questions than it answers? Why does this dragon look anatomically imperfect (small stunted wings / short stumpy legs / short inflexible neck), like a deformed, disempowered menace? Has the artist gone for 'worm' rather than dragon? Why am I asking questions about a mythical creature? Why does it bother me? Does it bother anyone else? [Why don't you have a holiday? Ed.]

A rookery above Newcastle Emlyn

This rookery stands out against the still budding treetops and the noise is pretty conspicuous; parent rooks 'caw' and hop and flap about and in the midst of the commotion I caught the piping of baby rooks demanding feeding.

Castell Newydd Emlyn

This is the remains of what was a gatehouse and south tower destroyed in 1644 during the Civil War. The original stone structure dates from the last quarter of 13th C. Naturally enough the ruins are Grade I listed with Cadw Building ID: 9716.
