Croeso i Salem
Welcome to Salem
Salem is a small, friendly village nestled in the hills of Carmarthenshire, just north of the historic town of Llandeilo.
The village grew around an ancient drovers road - its historic name ‘Heolgaled’ - meaning ‘hard or difficult road’ and today we sit within the electoral ward of Manordeilo and Salem with a joint Community Council.
The ward population of 1,754 is recorded on the 2011 census - but Salem village itself is small, and many residents live on scattered hamlets, on smallholdings and farms.
Hanes Heolgaled Salem History
From iron age survivals, to the ancient kingdom of Deheubarth, to bandits and thieves that once roamed Heolgaled or ‘hard road’ - to the enclosures of common land - find out more about the history of Salem.
