Port Tennant
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Port Tennant is a suburban district of Swansea, Wales, falling within the St. Thomas ward. Port Tennant lies at the southern foot of Kilvey Hill just east of St. Thomas and is bounded by the Fabian Way to the south. It is a mostly residential area.
The area takes its name from the Tennant family who developed the Tennant Canal and were responsible for developing the area. The Tennant Canal terminates at the Vale of Neath Inn (now closed) in the south east of Port Tennant.
Local amenities include the Danygraig Primary School, a few playing fields to the east and a some shops on Port Tennant Road. There is a 550 car space Park and Ride site just south of the district, off Fabian Way with dedicated buses to Swansea city centre.
The Tir John landfill site and adjacent Civic amenity site is located east of the residential area.
