About

Whitland ward covers a rural area in southeastern Carmarthenshire, centred around the small market town of Whitland. The landscape is characterised by rolling farmland and the valleys of the River Tâf and its tributaries. The ward includes several smaller villages and hamlets, such as Llanboidy and Llanycefn, which are connected by a network of narrow country lanes. Agriculture remains a significant part of the local economy and character.

The town itself is historically known for its association with Hywel Dda and the medieval Welsh law codes. A notable local feature is the Whitland Abbey site, a ruined Cistercian monastery founded in the 12th century. The area is served by the main railway line connecting Carmarthen to Swansea and Cardiff, with the station situated just outside the main town centre. Community life often focuses on local schools, chapels, and agricultural shows.
