Llanegwad sits on the banks of the river Tywi between Carmarthen and Llandeilo in Carmarthenshire, South Wales. The Cothi river, the largest tributary of the Tywi, runs to the north of the village. Both rivers are noted for their excellent trout and sea trout fishing.
The village has Medieval origins but most of the present buildings belong to the 18th and 19th and 20th Centuries. Llanegwad parish church was built in the 10th or early 11th Century and rebuilt in the mid 19th Century. There are several fine commemorative plaques inside the church. The tower was built to the memory of Margaret Bath but, as with much of the church, is sadly in a poor state of repair.
