Saron is an electoral ward on the northern edge of the town of Ammanford in Carmarthenshire, Wales, covering the village itself and surrounding semi‑rural areas in the Amman Valley. The landscape and built environment still reflect a 19th‑century coal‑mining past, with terraced housing, chapels and community buildings that mark its industrial heritage.
Today the ward is largely residential and commuter‑oriented, with local shops, active community groups and a strong Welsh‑language culture; it combines small farms and former mining settlements, and elects councillors to the county council, giving it a mix of historic character and contemporary village life.
