Glanamman is an electoral ward and village in the Amman Valley on the banks of the River Amman, within Carmarthenshire, Wales. It sits where the steep valleys of the South Wales coalfield give way to open moorland, offering attractive walks and a clear sense of place framed by former industrial landscape.
Historically a coal‑mining community, Glanamman still reflects that industrial and chapel heritage and has a strong Welsh‑speaking tradition, local choirs and community activities. Since the mine closures the economy has shifted towards commuting, small businesses and modest tourism, with local groups active in regeneration and events that celebrate the language, music and landscape.
