Cardigan
About Cardigan
Cardigan is a town and community in the county of Ceredigion, Wales. Positioned on the tidal reach of the River Teifi at the point where Ceredigion meets Pembrokeshire, Cardigan was the county town of the historic county of Cardiganshire. Cardigan is the second-largest town in Ceredigion. The largest town, Aberystwyth, is one of the two administrative centres; the other is Aberaeron. The town is bypassed by the A487 road along the coast, whose junction with the A478 road to Tenby lies to the south of the town.

The Cardigan — do people know it was named after the seventh Earl of Cardigan? I read an article claiming that he was wearing one while he led the charge of the Light Brigade.

Other times Cardigan came up
Florence Nightingale's having to organise a lot of stuff. Lots of famous things came from it, I suppose. Florence Nightingale, Mary Seacall, Charge of the Light Brigade. Three items of clothing. Balaclava, the cardigan. Cardigan, Earl of Cardigan, very heavily involved in the Light Brigade. It's got to be a boot. You're not going to get it. Go on, what is it? The Sebastopol hat. It's the raglan sleeve shirt.
