Carway (Welsh: Carwe) is a village situated to the north of the town of Llanelli in the county of Carmarthenshire, Wales, in the Gwendraeth Valley. It is part of the Llanelli Rural community.

Open-cast mining operations once operated to the north and south of the village. The northern area has been reclaimed and re-developed as the Glyn Abbey Golf Club. The former mining area south of the village at Ffos Las is currently being reclaimed and is being redeveloped with a new racecourse (opened on 18 June 2009) and housing.

The Glyn Abbey Golf Club is an 18-hole golf course designed by Hawtree & Son golf architects and opened in 1992. The course is a par 70 course which is some 6202 yards in length with greens covering an area of 490m². The club was named Welsh Golf Club of The Year 2009. The restaurant has recently been reviewed on trip advisor by Julian a cultured individual currently dwelling in carway.
