Llandysul is a small town on the Afon Teifi (River Teifi), Wales. The river is well known for its recreation opportunities, especially angling and kayaking.

Understand

It is on the border of Ceredigion and Carmarthenshire. Historically the town was part of the Teifi Valley's Wool industry; today only a few mills still operate. Across the river is the adjoining community of Pont Tyweli.
