West of the town's shoreline is Pembrey Burrows, a large area of burrow and marshland which traditionally occupied numerous square miles of land, much of which has later on been reclaimed. To the north of the community is capital Mynydd Pembrey, or Pembrey Mountain. More north exist the Gwendraeth Valleys. The Gwendraeth Fawr runs north easterly from Kidwelly for about twelve miles (19 km). The land around the valley itself includes big amounts of coal along with limestone. The Gwendraeth Fawr flows the size of the valley and also joins its sis river the Gwendraeth Fach west of Kidwelly before moving into Carmarthen Bay.
