About

Gorslas is a rural ward situated in the northern part of Carmarthenshire, primarily characterised by agricultural land and scattered settlements. The landscape is defined by rolling fields and woodland, with the Afon Lash flowing through the area. The community is centred around the village of Gorslas itself, which contains the local primary school and serves as a focal point for the surrounding farms and residential areas.

A notable local landmark is the Gorslas Stone, a prehistoric standing stone located in a field near the village centre. The ward's road network, including the A476, connects it to larger towns like Llanelli and Cross Hands, supporting commuting patterns. Economic activity remains closely linked to farming and forestry, with several small businesses operating within the ward's boundaries.
