Garnant
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Garnant is a village in Carmarthenshire about five miles east of Ammanford on the A474. During the early part of the 20th century it was the site of a tinplate works and several anthracite coal mines. It lies on the edge of the Black Mountain, in the westernmost part of the Brecon Beacons National Park. It has a public golf club and a new primary/junior school. Poor planning of the latter is blamed by local residents for flooding problems.
