Tre-lech, Cenarth & Llangeler

The Tre-lech, Cenarth and Llangeler area sits in north‑west Carmarthenshire where lanes and small fields meet the steep valley of the River Teifi. The river marks the county boundary here and shapes the local pattern of farms, hedgerows and pockets of woodland. Narrow roads link scattered hamlets and lead down to riverside meeting points used for generations by people and livestock. Land use is mainly pastoral, with dairy and sheep farms threaded by footpaths that rise and fall with the valley sides.

Cenarth is best known for the falls on the Teifi, where salmon can be seen leaping and where coracles have been used for local fishing for centuries. The stone bridge at Cenarth and the parish churches around Llangeler and Tre-lech reflect long local settlement and community networks. Local routes follow former droving lines and connect to small farm shops, a village hall and seasonal events, so the area remains oriented around river access, farming and the everyday rhythms of rural life.
