Ferryside
Ferryside is a village in the community of St Ishmael, Carmarthenshire, Wales. It is 8.5 miles (13.7 km) south of Carmarthen near the mouth of the River Tywi. Originally a ferry going across, after that coming to be a fishing village, it has established as a vacation and also retirement location. The town has its very own lifeboat terminal and was the first town in the UK to switch from analogue to digital tv. Coming from as a landing-place on the ferry course to Llansteffan (the ferryboat was made use of by Giraldus Cambrensis in 1188), Ferryside created as an angling town. In 1844 the population of the parish was 895. Much of the town developed after 1852, when it ended up being linked to Carmarthen and also Swansea by Isambard Kingdom Brunel's South Wales Railway.
