About

Today the focus of the town is directed towards retail, with the busy high street and traditional indoor market providing the surrounding communities with goods and services. There are a number of chapels, pubs and restaurants in the town but the major visitor attractions lie just outside Ammanford.

The Brecon Beacons and the Black Mountain are within a few miles of the town whilst Carreg Cennen Castle, one of the most famous and picturesque in Wales, is a short drive away. The Aberglasney Gardens are open 364 days of the year and are a mecca for those with green fingers, whilst the National Botanic Gardens are also within easy reach.

Ammanford has a railway station on the Heart of Wales line that runs from Shrewsbury to Swansea.
