About

Bigyn is a residential ward situated on the eastern side of Llanelli, bordered by the Loughor Estuary to the north. The area is primarily composed of housing estates, local schools, and community facilities, with a mix of property types. Its landscape includes some elevated sections offering views across the surrounding water and town. The ward functions as a settled suburb for the larger town, with necessary amenities integrated into the neighbourhoods.

A notable local feature is the Bigyn Park area, which contains recreational spaces and historical remnants of the area's past industrial use. The ward's network of roads connects it directly to Llanelli town centre and other communities along the estuary. Residential life here is centred around local hubs, with a focus on practical community infrastructure rather than tourist attractions or major commercial districts.
