Penclawdd
Penclawdd was once a thriving seaport exporting goods from the local copper works, the coal mines and of course its famous seafood, as popular with the Romans as ourselves, From the Loughor estuary.
Rows of little terraced houses, with fantastic views, line the roads in the centre of the village and although the copper works and mines closed a long time ago, "Penclawdd Cockles" are still renowned today, although most of the industry is now located in the nearby villages of Crofty and Llanmorlais
The cockles are collected from the extensive sandy flats in the Burry Estuary and the cockles harvested there are sold worldwide.
Samples of these famous cockles can be purchased at the stalls in Swansea and Llanelli Markets and locally in the village itself.
