The Kidwelly and Llanelly Canal was a canal and tramroad system in Carmarthenshire Wales built to carry anthracite coal to the coast for onward transportation by coastal ships. It began life as Kymer’s Canal in 1766 which linked pits at Pwll y Llygod to a dock near Kidwelly. Access to the dock gradually became more difficult as the estuary silted up and an extension to Llanelli was authorised in 1812.
