Lampeter was established as a market
borough in medieval times and has been the focus of the farming community
in the area to this day. However the town has another important function
as the home of the University of Wales Lampeter College. |
|
If Lampeter was established and thrived as an agricultural centre, today it is the University and tourism that drive the local economy. However despite the decline in agriculture, Lampeter still retains its market town character with a regular Cattle Mart, Antique Auction, Horse Fair and the annual Food Festival. |

 |
Lampeter is an essential stop on
your visit to West Wales. Enjoy the ambience of a largely unspoilt Welsh
market town. Stroll through the grounds of the University with its neo
gothic style Old Building, modelled on the Oxford quadrangle. Then take
some refreshments in one of the many places to eat and drink. |
