Boncath
Boncath is a village, community and postal district in north Pembrokeshire, Wales. It is positioned about 5 miles (8 km) to the west of Newcastle Emlyn. The village is positioned at a crossroad linking the close by settlements of Newchapel (Capelnewydd), Eglwyswrw, Blaenffos and Bwlchygroes. Originally a hamlet formed around an inn, the village developed following the introduction of the railway in 1885. Boncath railway station, opened in September 1886, was a two-platform stop in between Crymmych Arms and Kilgerran Halt on the Whitland and Cardigan Railway, called 'Cardi Bach'. The line was shut due to the 1963 Beeching Axe and the station building was altered into private property. The village once included three tailors, a cobbler and also a dressmaker, and in 2000 a new Community Hall was opened. Cilwendeg House, described as one of the most significant mansions in Pembrokeshire, dates from the late 18th century and was built on the site of a former house which dates back to the 1600s. One of many attributes of the property is the Grade 2 listed Shell House, constructed in the late 1820s. The 21 bedroom mansion was a care home from 1952 to 2010. These days, the village features a population of about 700 individuals. The town is served by a regular bus service. The Boncath Inn stands at the heart of the village in addition to a village shop and Post Office, as well as a variety of small companies. The Welsh Independent Chapel at Fachendre (Fach-hendre), formed in 1879, can be discovered south east of the village and is a listed building. The Community Hall, a registered charity, offers a venue that can be used for events in the local area. Cilwendeg was the location of the 2013 Urdd Eisteddfod.
