St Michael's church

Cilycwm, historically Cîl-y-cwm and Kîlycwm[1] is a village and parish located in Carmarthenshire.

Cilycwm lies on the west bank of Afon Gwenlais, a tributary of the Tywi, north of the town of Llandovery. Pont Dolauhirion, a bridge that crosses the Tywi at the south of the parish was designed by William Edwards and is a copy of his famous bridge at Pontypridd.[2] The bridge is a grade I listed structure [3]

The parish church of St Michael's is also a grade I listed building. [4]
