Nantycaws or Nant-y-caws is a rural settlement in the community of Llangunnor, Carmarthenshire, Wales.

'Nant y caws' is Welsh for 'River of the cheese' and probably refers to the rich dairy farmland in the area.^[1]

Nantycaws lies largely on the old A48 road to Carmarthen (5 miles away) which was replaced in the 1980s with a dual carriageway, running close to the village.

There is a petrol station and the Nant-y-caws Recycling Centre, located on the A48 to the east of the village.

The Philadelphia Independent Chapel lies on the Llangynnor Road (old A48) and dates from 1809.^[2]

Governance

Nantycaws is included in the electoral ward of Llangunnor represented by one county councillor on Carmarthenshire County Council. At the most local level, it is represented by the community councillors of Llangunnor Community Council.^[3]
