Newcastle Emlyn: tip of a Carmarthenshire tongue
Image: © Chris Downer Taken: 19 Aug 2010
The bends in the River Teifi form a long narrow piece of land, very much resembling a tongue in shape, on which the castle stands. Here we look along the path that goes round the very tip of the 'tongue', in a meadowy setting which incorporates a picnic area. Since the river forms the county boundary, this is a long, thin appendage to the shape of Carmarthenshire, surrounded by Ceredigion.
