Llangadog is situated in the heart of the Tywi Valley half way between Llandeilo and Llandovery. A village with a population of approximately 1000 people it is situated on the western edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park and is surrounded by beautiful rolling hills and pasture with stunning views towards the Black Mountain. The main business is agriculture but there are several small and medium sized businesses here including a builders merchant and an agricultural feed and supply shop. The beautiful countryside surrounding the village and its nearness to the Brecon Beacons makes it a draw for tourists. The village is well served by places to stay, eat and drink.

Capel Gwynfe is a small village about 3 miles to the south and west of Llangadog with a picturesque church dating from 1898 and a 19th Century church hall. The area primarily consists of agricultural lands and its location in the foothills of the Brecon Beacons make it an ideal starting point for walkers and cyclists. It was voted Village of the Year for Carmarthenshire in 2004. In additon to this website, the villagers of Gwynfe have their own website at http://www.gwynfe.btck.co.uk

Bethlehem is a village to the south of Llangadog perched on the hillside overlooking the Towy flood plain. Bethlehem Hall is renowned for stamping cards at Christmas time and hundreds of people each year bring their cards to be stamped with the Bethlehem stamp. Behind the village is Garn Goch which is a bracken covered hillside which turns a glorious red in Autumn and Winter and is the site of an Iron Age Hill fort.
