Ferryside
Ferryside is a village in the community of St Ishmael, Carmarthenshire, Wales. It is 8.5 miles (13.7 kilometres) south of Carmarthen near the mouth of the River Tywi. Initially a ferryboat going across, then ending up being a fishing village, it has created as a vacation and retirement location. The village has its own lifeboat station and was the initial village in the UK to switch from analogue to electronic tv. Originating as a landing-place on the ferry route to Llansteffan (the ferryboat was made use of by Giraldus Cambrensis in 1188), Ferryside established as a fishing village. In 1844 the population of the parish was 895. Much of the village developed after 1852, when it became linked to Carmarthen and also Swansea by Isambard Kingdom Brunel's South Wales Railway.
