Loughor

About

Loughor sits at the northern edge of Swansea, where the River Loughor meets the wide estuary. The area is defined by this tidal waterway, with views across to the Carmarthenshire side. Its geography is largely residential, with neighbourhoods spread across the lower valley slopes.

The area's history is anchored by the ruins of Loughor Castle, a Norman fortification built atop the remains of a Roman fort. The castle grounds overlook the river's mudflats, which are frequented by wading birds. The town retains a distinct, separate identity from the larger urban centre to the south.
