Pont-Henri (or Ponthenri) is a small rural village in Wales, located in the centre of the Gwendraeth Valley, halfway between the towns of Carmarthen and Llanelli.[1] Most of the village comes under the Parliamentary constituency of Llanelli and the jurisdiction of Llanelli Rural Council. The rest of the village is represented by Carmarthen East and Dinefwr constituency and Llangendeirne Community Council. The electoral boundary in Pont-Henri follows the course of the Gwendraeth Fawr river.
Over the years the facilities in the village have degenerated dramatically. Now there are no shops or post office, and the village has one pub (the Baltic Inn) and a social club. Other facilities include a take-away (that has now closed down), a community hall, a play area, a football pitch, a baptist chapel and an industrial estate.
Some of the village's famous residents include former Welsh international darts captain Eric Burden and Wales goalkeeper Ronnie Howells. BBC Rugby correspondent Gareth Charles is also from Pont-Henri.
