About

Betws ward is located in the northern part of Carmarthenshire, forming part of the wider Llanelli Rural Council area. The landscape is characterised by a mix of agricultural land, small valleys, and wooded hillsides, with the River Lliedi flowing through the area. Settlement is dispersed, consisting primarily of villages like Betws itself and Pontarddulais, alongside numerous smaller hamlets and farmsteads. The local economy has historical ties to agriculture and small-scale industry.

The community is served by local schools, village halls, and places of worship. A network of country lanes and public footpaths connects the settlements and provides access to the surrounding countryside. The area's geography includes parts of the Mynydd Mawr woodland park, offering walking routes through mixed forestry. This setting contributes to a primarily residential and rural character for the ward.
