Tycroes is a compact community in Carmarthenshire, Wales, sitting on the northern fringe of the Amman Valley close to the town of Ammanford. It feels semi-rural, with houses clustered around village amenities and open farmland and valleys giving pleasant views and easy access to local walking country.
The area has roots in the South Wales coal and anthracite industries, which shaped its growth in the 19th and 20th centuries, but today it is largely residential with a strong sense of community, active local clubs and a continuing Welsh-language presence. Local life tends to revolve around village halls, sports clubs and annual events, while many residents commute to nearby towns for work.
