Ammanford facts
Ammanford is a built-up part of Swansea where housing, back lanes, walls and small pockets of open ground sit close together. It is part of the Llanelli, Burry Port & the Amman Valley area, within about 30 miles of Swansea.
- Originally a hamlet called Cross Inn, it was renamed Ammanford in 1880 after public meetings.
- The town grew where the River Amman meets the Loughor, amid nineteenth-century anthracite mining.
- Part of the City and County of Swansea, served by Swansea Council for waste, roads and public land.
- Terraced and semi-detached housing, back lanes and boundary walls are typical of this part of the city.

Where to look
Back lanes, boundary walls, vacant plots and disturbed roadside ground are the main places where invasive or escaping garden plants can establish around Ammanford.
This is habitat guidance, not a claim that a particular property or site is infested.
