The Tywi valley in Carmarthenshire, west Wales, is cherished as an important historic landscape, renowned for its scenic qualities that have been shaped by ice, water and man. It boasts a wealth of treasures including forts and castles, parkland and gardens, charismatic towns and villages. The Tywi a River Through Time project focused on the area between Llangadog and Dryslwyn. It aimed to strengthen the community’s links with the landscape by gaining a better understanding and developing the skills needed to look after their landscape.

A programme of activities, led by the Dyfed Archaeological Trust, took schools, local interest groups and members of the public on a journey of archaeological and geological discovery. The aim of this booklet is to acknowledge the achievements of the Exploration Tywi! participants and to inspire further exploration both by the residents of the Tywi valley and people further afield.
