About the River Loughor
The River Loughor, Afon Llwchwr in Welsh, marks the border between Carmarthenshire and Swansea for much of its course. It rises from a cave network beneath the Black Mountain, coming to the surface at Llygad Llwchwr, which means the eye of the Loughor. It flows past Ammanford and Hendy in Carmarthenshire and Pontarddulais in Swansea, and becomes tidal where it separates Hendy from Pontarddulais. The Loughor Estuary then opens into Carmarthen Bay between the south coast of Carmarthenshire and the Gower Peninsula. Its tributaries include the River Amman, which joins near Pantyffynnon, and the River Morlais.
In the eighteenth century the river was a noted salmon and sea trout river, and fish were carried on ponies to Swansea Market. The fishing declined in the nineteenth century with pollution from industry. The catchment covers about 262 square kilometres.
