Map of the UK

Llanddowror is a small, quiet parish in south Carmarthenshire, Wales, set in rolling agricultural countryside a short drive from market towns such as St Clears and the sandy beaches of Pendine Sands. The village has a modest centre and parish church and feels very much part of the rural coastal hinterland of Carmarthenshire rather than a commuter settlement.

Historically the parish is best known for its eighteenth‑century association with the clergyman Griffith Jones, whose circulating schools played a major role in spreading literacy in Welsh, so Llanddowror occupies a particular niche in Welsh educational history. Today the community remains largely agricultural with a strong local identity and Welsh language presence, and it attracts people interested in countryside living and regional history.
