Llangennech is a ward and village in Carmarthenshire, Wales, set just inland from the Burry Inlet and close to Llanelli. The area grew up around 19th‑century industry and the railways, so today it mixes an industrial heritage with commuter links into larger towns and some light manufacturing alongside local shops and amenities.
The community has a strong Welsh cultural flavour, with a notable local parish church, active clubs (including rugby) and a keen sense of local identity. The nearby estuary and saltmarshes make the surroundings important for birdlife, giving the ward an unusual combination of coastal wildlife and post‑industrial landscapes.
