Llannon

Llannon

Llannon is a small village in the county of Carmarthenshire, West Wales, United Kingdom administered by Carmarthenshire County Council.

Location

Llannon is located 11 miles south east of Carmarthen between Pontyberem and Pontarddulais.

History & Amenities

It has deep historical links with the Rebecca Riots and there is even rumoured to be a "secret passage" under the main road running through the village. This passage was said to have been used by Oliver Cromwell and possibly the Rebecca Rioters as an escape route to avoid the police. The passage runs from the Red Lion Public House to the Parish Church.

Another Public House dwells in the village which lies on the Llannon to Hendy road junction called the Greyhound Inn. It is unknown which Public House is older, but the road that the Greyhound Inn lies on has a watering fountain on it which was built to water horses of passing carts.

The village has a primary school, and aside from the two pubs it lacks any other amenities such as a shop which closed in the late 90s.
