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. Originally a ferry going across, then ending up being an angling town, it has created as a vacation as well as retired life area. The village has its very own lifeboat station and also was the first town in the UK to switch from analogue to digital tv. Coming from as a landing-place on the ferryboat course to Llansteffan (the ferry was made use of 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 also Swansea by Isambard Kingdom Brunel's South Wales Railway.
