About

Llanelli West encompasses a mix of residential neighbourhoods and industrial heritage, situated on the northern shore of the Loughor Estuary. The area is defined by its coastal location and historical ties to the tinplate and steel industries, with some former works now repurposed. The flat, low-lying landscape is marked by waterways and the expansive views across the estuary towards the Gower Peninsula, creating a distinctive, open environment.

The Millennium Coastal Park forms a significant green corridor along the waterfront, providing a continuous path for walking and cycling. Residential streets, largely consisting of post-war housing, are arranged in a practical grid pattern. The area's social and commercial heart is focused around the district of Bynea, which sits adjacent to the main road and rail links connecting to Swansea.
