Newcastle Emlyn’s Heritage Centre is closer to completion with help from RDP Sir Gâr and grant support.
The Town Council received an Innovative Communities grant for improvements to the Cawdor Hall and Rural Community Inclusion funding to employ an officer.
A new audio trail in and around the town, funded by RDP Sir Gâr’s Landscape and Heritage grant, will also be linked to the Heritage Centre.
“The Trail is an app for i-phones, all you have to do is go to the App store on your phone and put Newcastle Emlyn into the search area.”
“It will then be loaded onto the iphone or ipad which has the same set up and you use your headphones to listen to the commentary which was done by schoolchildren and Jen Jones from Hanes Emlyn.”
Said Emyr Price, Cultural Heritage Grants Officer for the Tywi Centre
RDP Sir Gâr is funded by the Rural Development Plan for Wales 2007 -2013 which is funded by the Welsh Government and European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development. For details on RDP Sir Gâr grants available call 01267 242366 or visit www.wwec.org.uk
