Ffairfach is a small village in Carmarthenshire, Wales, sitting just beside Llandeilo and close to the sweep of the River Towy. Its name literally means "little fair" in Welsh, reflecting a history as a local market spot, and it benefits from easy rail access via Ffairfach railway station on the Heart of Wales line, making it a handy gateway to the surrounding countryside and the nearby historic park and estate at Dinefwr Park.
The village retains a rural, community-led character: agriculture still underpins the local economy while tourism linked to nearby attractions and walking country brings extra trade. Welsh language and local traditions remain visible in social life, giving Ffairfach a distinctly local feel despite its proximity to larger towns.
