Boncath is a village and postal district in north Pembrokeshire, Wales. It's positioned about 5 miles (8 km) to the west of Newcastle Emlyn. The village is situated at a crossroad joining the neighbouring settlements of Newchapel (Capelnewydd), Eglwyswrw, Blaenffos and Bwlchygroes. Initially a hamlet formed around an inn, the village increased in size following the coming of the railway in 1885. Boncath railway station, which opened its doors in September 1886, was a two-platform stop on the line in between Crymmych Arms and Kilgerran Halt on the Whitland and Cardigan Railway, called 'Cardi Bach'. The line was closed on account of the 1963 Beeching Axe and the station building became a private home. The village once included 3 tailors, a cobbler and also a dressmaker, and in 2000 a new Community Hall was opened. Cilwendeg House, described as one of the most important mansions in Pembrokeshire, dates back to the late eighteenth century and was constructed on the site of a former house dating back to the 1600s. One of the features of the property is the Grade II listed Shell House, constructed in the late 1820s. The 21 bedroom mansion was a care home from 1952 to 2010. Now, the village features a permanent population of about 700 individuals. The town is served by a regular bus service. The Boncath Inn is positioned in the centre of the village in addition to a village shop and Post Office, as well as several small businesses. The Welsh Independent Chapel at Fachendre (Fach-hendre), formed in 1879, can be found towards the 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 within the local area. Cilwendeg hosted the 2013 Urdd Eisteddfod.
