Carmarthen is home to around 14,000 people (2021 census), a town whose long history has made it a strong contender for the title of oldest in Wales.
A Roman fort and a wizard's legend
Carmarthen grew from Moridunum, a Roman fort and town established around AD 75, complete with one of only a few Roman amphitheatres discovered in Wales, still visible today. The town's Welsh name, Caerfyrddin, is traditionally connected to Myrddin, the legendary figure better known as Merlin, and local tradition has long claimed him as a son of the town, even if the historical basis for that link is more folklore than fact. Between the Roman remains and the Merlin legend, Carmarthen has a strong claim to being the oldest continuously occupied town in Wales.
What that history doesn't leave behind
Carmarthen's history doesn't come with a dedicated sweet shop set up for bulk bags, vegan-specific ranges or halal-friendly lines — not the kind of retail a town this size tends to support locally.
Why Carmarthen shoppers order online anyway
For anything past a corner-shop bag, ordering online is more consistent than a special trip to Swansea or Llanelli just to find a wider range. It also means the exact mix, weight or dietary option you want turns up at your door rather than depending on what a nearby town's shelves happen to stock that week.
