St Clears is a small town in Carmarthenshire with a population of
around 3000 people. At an attractive location with good connections
to most Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire towns, St Clears offers
good facilities for residents and visitors alike St Clears (Welsh:
Sanclêr) is a small town on the River Tâf in Carmarthenshire, west
Wales, with a population of close to 3000 people. The Norman St
Clears Castle was constructed in the twelfth century. Only the
castle mound can still be seen, which rises to approximately 12
metres and was home to first a timber tower and then a stone keep.
The town, which was a Marcher Borough, grew around the castle.
Below the castle there was a port on the river Tâf, which could
take ships of up to 500 tons according to a plaque on the site. The
castle held out against Owain Glyndwr. In 1842, the town became
famous for the destruction of one of its toll gates in the Rebecca
Riots. The Normans also established a small priory under the
supervision of the great abbey of St Martin les Champs in Paris.
The priory church is now the parish church. It is worth a visit: it
has a spectacular Romanesque arch inside.
