Abergorlech is a village 8 miles (13 km) to the north-west of Llandeilo in Carmarthenshire, Wales.[1] It lies on the River Cothi on the B4310 road, between Brechfa to the southwest and Llansawel to the northeast.[2]
The Pont Cothi bridge, which crosses the River Cothi in the centre of the village, is a grade II* listed building.
Abergorlech gets its name from the Afon Gorlech, a minor river which joins the Cothi on the eastern edge of the village.
The village is connected to Dafydd Gorlech (fl. c. 1410–1490), one of the poets of the nobility.
