Gurnos lies within the parliamentary constituency of Neath and forms part of the ward that is characterised by a dense settlement to the east and north around the A4067 road in Swansea. The locality is historically linked to the Swansea Canal, a canal constructed by the Swansea Canal Navigation Company between 1794 and 1798. The canal ran for 16.5 miles (26.6 km) from Swansea to Hen Neuadd, Abercraf in South Wales, requiring 36 locks to rise 373 feet (114 m) over its length. The main cargos carried on the canal were coal, iron and steel, and the enterprise was profitable. The proximity to the canal and the A4067 road suggests that Gurnos has a mix of residential and industrial heritage, with easy access to the surrounding areas of Swansea and Neath.
