Ferryside
Ferryside is a village in the neighborhood 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 going across, then becoming an angling town, it has established as a vacation as well as retired life area. The town has its own lifeboat terminal and also was the very first town in the UK to switch over from analogue to digital tv. Coming from as a landing-place on the ferryboat path to Llansteffan (the ferryboat was used by Giraldus Cambrensis in 1188), Ferryside established as an angling village. In 1844 the population of the parish was 895. Much of the town established after 1852, when it came to be linked to Carmarthen and Swansea by Isambard Kingdom Brunel's South Wales Railway.
