Banwen
Now the big industries have gone but the village is still evolving.
It has an excellent community resource at the Dove Workshop which runs courses from beginner to degree level; stages of the Wales GB car rally are held at Walters Arena and the tourism potential of St Patrick's birthplace is being developed
