Dyfed is presently a county in Wales.
It was formerly a county in southeast Wales.
The county was created in the year 1974.
It includes other counties such as the counties of Carmarthenshire, Pembrokeshire and Cardiganshire.
Dyfed covers almost the same geographic space like the former county of Deheubarth. The county now serves as a site for ceremonial occasions in Wales related to Shrievalty and Lieutenancy.
