Treboeth, in the ancient parish of Llangyfelach, was once a village in its own right, but it is now well inside the boundary of the City of Swansea. It is situated about two miles to the north of the centre of Swansea, on the main route between Swansea town and what was once the village of Llangyfelach. The main street through Treboeth is named Llangyfelach Road.
