Betws is an electoral ward and village on the northern edge of Ammanford in Carmarthenshire, Wales. It occupies a mix of valley and hillside terrain in the Amman Valley, giving easy access to open countryside while remaining close to town services.
The community retains a strong Welsh‑language identity and a social life centred on the village school, community hall and local pub. Historically shaped by farming and the wider valley’s coal‑mining past, the local economy today is a blend of small businesses, agriculture and commuters who travel to nearby centres.
