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.
