Bynea

Bynea

Bynea is a village close to the River Loughor in Carmarthenshire, Wales. This was an agricultural area until the turn of the twentieth century, when it became heavily industralised with coal mines and steelworks. Bynea runs into the village of Llwynhendy, and between the two there are four places of worship, and a number of pubs.

Terry Davies, the rugby union player, is from this area.

The village is served by Bynea railway station with trains operating to Swansea to the south and Shrewsbury to the north.
