About

Cwarter Bach is a ward in the rural northern part of Carmarthenshire, situated near the border with Powys. The area is characterised by its agricultural landscape of rolling hills and farmland, with the Afon Cothi river flowing through the valley. The community is centred around the small village of Cwarter Bach itself, with other settlements like Brechfa and Llansawel located within the ward's boundaries. The terrain is largely defined by the foothills of the Cambrian Mountains.

The local economy has traditionally been based on farming and forestry, with the extensive Brechfa Forest offering a network of trails. The area is sparsely populated, with a dispersed pattern of farms and houses. The historic church of St. David in Llansawel dates back to the medieval period. The landscape is quiet and dominated by green fields, woodlands, and narrow country lanes connecting the scattered communities.
