Carmarthen Town North and South are neighbouring electoral wards covering much of the central spine of Carmarthen, the county town of Carmarthenshire in Wales. They take in the town centre either side of the River Towy, so they include the main shopping streets, civic buildings, and a mix of older terraces and more recent housing.
As the civic heart of the county the wards combine retail, cafes and weekly markets with council services and a visible Welsh‑language presence, framed by a long history from Roman roots to the medieval period; landmarks such as the ruins of Carmarthen Castle and historic churches punctuate the area. Socially and economically the wards are varied, with local regeneration and cultural events helping to keep the town centre active for residents and visitors alike.
