Not the best of weather, Carreg-las dancing took place on the sheltered stage as the grass was very wet and slippery, one could be forgiven if this photo was mistaken for a "Punch and Judy Show"! 2010 photo is SN4140 : Llandysul Food Festival perfect weather!

St Tysul's Church, Llandysul

The church of St Tysul was founded by Tysul, 462 - 554, at the meeting place of a number of tracks at a ford over the River Teifi. The present stone structure dates from the thirteenth century and the roof remained thatched until 1783. The ancient altar with its early Christian inscription was incorporated into the altar of the Lady Chapel. The simple nave is separated from the north and south aisles by plain square pillars. Other ancient carved stones are found in the choir vestry. One of these is the Velvor Stone, a fragment cut from the middle of an inscribed slab. The tower houses a ring of six bells which are rung regularly.

Stranded at Llandysul!

Adventure Coachlines operate the once a day T1c (TrawsCymru) service from Aberystwyth to Cardiff. Unfortunately, on the day that I chose to use it, the coach came to a halt at Llandysul and could go no further. An air leak prevented the doors from closing, so it was immobilised. A local mechanic was summoned, but he was unable to fix the problem. Eventually, after a three-hour wait, a replacement coach arrived from Aberystwyth. Looking on the bright side, I was able to score a Geograph personal point as I have previously driven through Llandysul but never stopped there!

Welsh book publishers based at the Groesffordd Business Park, near Llandysul. Established at the turn of the 20th century, it was the foremost publisher of Welsh books. However, in 2019 they decided to stop their publishing arm and concentrate on printing. Their back catalogue of Welsh books were bought by the Lolfa and Atebol, the former taking adult books and Atebol taking children's books.
