Hengoed

About

Hengoed ward lies within the Carmarthenshire county borough, encompassing a primarily rural area to the north of the town of Llanelli. The landscape is characterised by rolling farmland and small settlements, with the Gwendraeth Valley influencing its topography. The ward includes the village of Pontyberem, which historically developed around the local coal mining industry.

A notable feature is the presence of the former Cynheidre Colliery, one of the last deep mines to operate in the region. The area is traversed by the A476 road, connecting it to broader transport networks. Land use remains predominantly agricultural, with a mix of arable and pastoral farming across its fields and low hills.
