Background
History
The town takes its name from the cantref of Emlyn, an administrative district in medieval Dyfed. Newcastle Emlyn Castle, was first mentioned in Brut y Tywysogion in 1215, when it was seized by Llewelyn the Great (). It was captured by the Welsh during the revolt of 1287β1288 and also by Owain GlyndΕ΅r in 1403. Cawdor Hall was completed in 1892. The Teifi Valley Railway is nearby, although the town has not had a passenger train service since 1952. Newcastle Emlyn hosted the Urdd National Eisteddfod in 1981.
