Llanddarog, Llangyndeyrn & Ferryside

Llanddarog, Llangyndeyrn, and Ferryside form a rural area in central Carmarthenshire, characterised by rolling farmland and small villages. The landscape is dominated by the broad Tywi Valley, with patchwork fields and wooded hillsides. Settlements like Llanddarog are centred around parish churches and traditional pubs, serving local farming communities. The area's quiet lanes connect scattered farms and residential properties.

The River Tywi widens significantly as it approaches Ferryside, a linear village directly facing the estuary. Here, the railway line runs close to the shore, with views across the water towards Llansteffan. The expansive mudflats and saltmarsh at low tide are a habitat for wading birds. The area's connection to the river and rail defines its character, distinct from the inland agricultural parishes.
