About

Cilycwm ward lies in the upper Tywi Valley within Carmarthenshire, characterised by its rural landscape of rolling hills, farmland, and significant forestry plantations. The area is sparsely populated, with settlements like Rhandirmwyn and Cilycwm village itself acting as small hubs. The geography is dominated by the meandering River Tywi and the surrounding slopes of the Cambrian Mountains, which define its quiet, agricultural character.

A notable feature is the presence of the Dinas Nature Reserve near Rhandirmwyn, a protected woodland managed by the RSPB that is a breeding site for red kites. The ward's history is connected to the local lead mining industry, with remnants still visible in the landscape. This is an area defined by natural resources, where the primary activities remain farming, forestry, and conservation.
