Dist:0.3km<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:0.3km<br/>A peaceful afternoon to chew the cud in the pasture land south of Castell Newydd Emlyn/Newcastle Emlyn.

Dist:0.5km<br/>On the outskirts of the town: spick and span with a hedge to die for (if you like formal hedges!)

Dist:0.8km<br/>This almost-illegible old town sign (with most of its reflective studs missing) has been superseded by a newer one but remains in place. Beyond can be seen the leisure centre which adjoins the secondary school.

Dist:0.9km<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:0.9km<br/>This rookery stands out against the still budding treetops and the noise is pretty conspicuous; parent rooks 'caw' and hop and flap about and in the midst of the commotion I caught the piping of baby rooks demanding feeding.

Dist:0.9km<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:0.9km<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:1.0km<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.
