“Many years ago as legend would have it: there was a cattle trail started from Kidwelly, through to Carmarthen, Llandilo and llandovery, onwards through Abergavenny and Hereford or Monmouth, all the way up to the City of London. Many drovers joined the trail, whereby they became saddle sore and briefly stayed in Taverns. Strewn around these watering holes,boys became men in the shortest of times, as this was indeed a hard and fast laborious life, men died in their hundreds, they were also robbed though many made their fortunes, one such person from Kidwelly (Dai) attributed his wealth from the trail. He move to Texas USA and carried on as a drover though he was known to be a cowboy. Not that he wasn't any good at it, by no means, it was just the american terminology of this. Hard time befell Dai the cowboy, due to a particular year of drought, he diversified his options and became an outlaw, some say he was the leader of that notorious "Hole in the Wall" gang. Hence his name kid Welly.”
