Red Roses (Welsh: Rhos-goch, "red moor") is a village in Carmarthenshire, Wales.
General information
Situated in south-west Carmarthenshire, bordering with Pembrokeshire, it forms part of the Eglwyscummin Community area with Ciffig and Marros which in turn forms part of the Laugharne Township ward. The village is situated around the main route to south Pembrokeshire, the A477, and the B4314 which is one of the main routes to the once popular holiday resort of Pendine.
History and Local Amenities
Surrounded by farming land, the village is near to a number of holiday destinations and has two caravan parks and a public house - the Sporting Chance, which at one time was named Llwyngwair Arms.[1] The local young farmers group were instrumental in creating a memorial garden resiting the memorial stone that lay very close to the main trunk road. A new community centre now occupies the site where an old Methodist Chapel lay abandoned for some time.
Roads
The crossroads in the village was once a major accident black spot but there have been few since a 40 mph speed limit and an anti skid road surface were added. The building of a by-pass diverting the A477 around the Village, previously earmarked over many years, is currently set to start in 2012.[2]
