Siop y Pentref / Boncath Mini-market and Post Office An obvious hub of village life on the crossroads here. Ideal stop-off for passers-by, like me, to top up on life's little essentials, a chat or banter with the staff and locals and break up a long car journey.

Boncath Inn This pub is the closest to the Eisteddfod and I expect the landlord was expecting a very busy time over the Eisteddfod period. There is Eisteddfod bunting (red green and white) draped about the pergola across the front.
