About Garnant

Garnant is a historic mining village located in the picturesque River Amman valley in Carmarthenshire, Wales, just north of Swansea.

Notably, Garnant is home to the only Commissioners' church in southwest Wales, reflecting its Methodist heritage. This rich industrial history and unique architectural features may be of interest to those researching planning applications in the area.
