Banwen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Banwen is a small village in Neath Port Talbot in South Wales.
It has often been suggested as the birth-place of Saint Patrick who recorded that he was born in the similarly named banavem taburniae somewhere on the west coast of Britain. It was clearly occupied in Roman times, sitting on the Neath-Brecon Roman road and next to the two Roman forts in Coelbren.
The Banwen Miners Hunt was founded in the village in 1962.
