A Spirited Request
Sometime prior to 1831, a ghost appeared to a best friend of his in life with a request - to go into a room in his farmhouse and retrieve money that once belonged to him. However, once the money was obtained, he wished for it to be thrown into the river at Llandovery. His friend duly completed the task and the spirit was seen no more.

Visitor Information
Llandovery (Welsh: Llanymddyfri) is a market town in Carmarthenshire, Wales, lying on the River Tywi and the A40/A483 roads.
Llandovery — a corruption of ' Llanymddyfri', meaning 'Llan ymlith y dyfroedd' or in English 'Church enclosure amidst the waters' — owes its name to its position between the River Tywi and the Afon Brân just upstream of their confluence.
