Dist:0.9km<br/>The fields beyond have been under cereals: this year cereals production in this area has increased markedly, although there is still some way to go before it matches the situation at the time of the Tithe Survey 170 years ago, when most of these fields were under crops.

Dist:1.0km northwest<br/>Built 1808, rebuilt 1844, enlarged 1880, according to the inscription. A heavy, awkward design that doesn't fit well into this very old part of the town and has not been well maintained; additionally the area behind the chapel has become a wasteland (there is no cemetery here.) The cladding on the wires was here when I visited last year but I gather there are structural problems.

Dist:1.1km northwest<br/>The school, on the apex of Water Street, opened in 1867 and ran until 1942. Pupils, who originally came from all over Wales, lodged in the town and were expected to provide their own books. The premises consisted of one room only. For further information, and old photographs, see http://www.newcastleemlyn.info/page7.html

Dist:1.1km west<br/>A common edible plant (sometimes described as a weed) which can be eaten as cooked greens or as salad leaves. It has a variety of names - sauce-alone, Jack-by-the-hedge and so on - which indicates that it has been well-known to country folk over the ages as a useful free vegetable. More recently it has been used as an ingredient for pesto.

Dist:1.1km north<br/>Across the river, which here describes an ox-bow bend around the castle site, the playing fields can barely be glimpsed through the screen of Himalayan Balsam (Impatiens glandifolia) that has been allowed to colonize the banks of the Teifi, with no apparent attempt to control it. Although quite a pretty plant, with its flowers ranging from deepest to palest pink, it is very invasive and suppresses the growth of indigenous species which would be more attractive in this location.

Dist:1.2km northwest<br/>Handsome 1875 building enhanced by the splendid iron railings; the light blue paintwork is a nice touch. Above the entrance gate hangs a four-sided glass lantern: this appears to be a feature of the town as there are several others to be found. An earlier chapel was built here in 1776.

Dist:1.2km northwest<br/>More of a triangle between College Street and Water Street. The eponynmous fountain, seen here, consists of two non-functioning taps below a lamp. I imagine this was once an important water source and it's a pity more is not made of it. Of the two cottages behind it, the one on the left looks original, that on the right, a dental practice, has been modernised.

Dist:1.2km north<br/>The Afon Teifi loops round the elevated site of the castle ruins, surrounding them on three sides.
