Today the local economy leans on agriculture - sheep farming in particular - alongside small independent shops, visitor accommodation and outdoor pursuits; it also has an enduring educational presence in Llandovery College and rail links on the Heart of Wales Line. Residents and visitors value the town for its accessible walking and cycling routes, local markets and a lively community atmosphere despite its modest size.
