Dialling code:	01550 (Llandovery)

Cilycwm is a quiet rural ward in Carmarthenshire, tucked into the meanders of the River Towy and set among rolling farmland and wooded valley sides. The settlement is marked by a handsome old stone bridge and a parish church, and sits on the road between Llandovery and Llandeilo, giving it a pleasantly remote but accessible feel.

Locally the economy is largely agricultural with sheep and cattle farms, supplemented by small-scale tourism, walking and fishing; the area’s history is visible nearby in the Roman gold-mining remains at Dolaucothi. Community life is typical of west Wales - small, close-knit and with a notable Welsh-language presence - making it a place valued for landscape, heritage and quiet rural living.
