Ferryside
Ferryside is a town 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. Initially a ferry crossing, then ending up being a fishing town, it has created as a vacation and retirement location. The village has its own lifeboat terminal and also was the very first town in the UK to switch over from analogue to digital television. Coming from as a landing-place on the ferry course to Llansteffan (the ferryboat was utilized by Giraldus Cambrensis in 1188), Ferryside created as a fishing village. In 1844 the population of the parish was 895. Much of the town created after 1852, when it became linked to Carmarthen and Swansea by Isambard Kingdom Brunel's South Wales Railway.
