About

Penygroes is a small ward situated in the Gwendraeth Valley, within the wider Carmarthenshire area. It lies near the town of Cross Hands and is characterised by its residential and agricultural surroundings. The landscape here is defined by gentle hills and fields, with scattered housing and local community facilities forming the settlement's core. The area maintains a quiet, settled atmosphere centred around village life.

The ward's history is closely linked to the broader industrial past of the Gwendraeth Valley, though it is now primarily residential. A notable local feature is the presence of the former Cynheidre Colliery sites, which speak to the region's deep coal mining heritage. The community is served by its own primary school and a few local businesses, with the main A476 road running nearby providing a connection to larger towns in the county.
