Garnant Places Overview: History, Culture & Facts about Garnant

Garnant history

---

The location of Garnant and Glanamman was known as Cwmamman (“Amman valley”) before coal was discovered. Until the 18th century it was a remote wilderness with just a few farms and rough mountain roads. The arrival of the Llanelly Railway in 1840 meant that coal could be exported on an industrial scale through Llanelli docks.

Garnant landmarks

The valley has been shaped by coal workings and their waste, but little remains above ground. Christchurch and the chapels (see below) are the main landmarks, along with the new school.

Garnant geography / climate

Garnant lies 12 miles north of Swansea on the edge of the Black Mountain. It lies at the junction of three rivers, where the Rivers Garnant and Pedol meet the River Amman. The village lies in the western part of the South Wales Coalfield.
