About the area
Brynamman facts
Brynamman is a Gower-edge settlement of lanes, hedge banks, farmland and older stone boundaries. It is part of the Llanelli, Burry Port & the Amman Valley area, within about 30 miles of Swansea.
- Formerly called Y Gwter Fawr, it was renamed when the railway arrived from Ammanford.
- The River Amman splits the village and forms the Carmarthenshire-Neath Port Talbot boundary.
- Sits on or close to the Gower Peninsula, the United Kingdom's first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, designated in 1956.
- Field boundaries, lanes and older stone walls give the area its long-established rural pattern.

Where to look
Hedge banks, garden edges, lanes, ditches and nearby fields are the main places where invasive or escaping garden plants can establish around Brynamman.
This is habitat guidance, not a claim that a particular property or site is infested.
