Hendy is a suburban ward in Carmarthenshire, Wales, sitting close to the county boundary with Swansea and neighbouring Pontarddulais near the River Loughor estuary. It has good road and rail links into the Swansea Bay area, and today reads as a largely residential community with a mix of older terraces and more modern housing, small local shops and light industry.
Like many settlements in the region, Hendy has 19th century industrial roots tied to nearby rail and metalworking activities, but now leans more towards commuter and village life, with a notable Welsh-speaking presence, active local clubs and a steady community spirit. The ward returns representatives to the county council and plays a modest role in the social and civic life of west Carmarthenshire.
