About

Burry Port ward encompasses the town itself along with surrounding villages like Pwll and Pembrey. The area is defined by its coastal position on the Loughor Estuary, with a functional harbour and a stretch of sandy beach. The landscape includes both residential neighbourhoods and areas of natural habitat, such as Pembrey Country Park with its forest and dunes. Industrial heritage is visible in the remnants of the old harbour and railway infrastructure.

The town centre serves local needs with shops and services. A notable feature is the connection to aviator Amelia Earhart, who landed here in 1928, a fact commemorated locally. The area's economy has historical ties to shipping and tinplate, though it is now more mixed. Transport links include the main railway line along the coast, connecting to larger urban centres. The overall environment is a blend of community life and coastal geography.
