Description Incorrect Description? Tell Us!Bancyfelin is a village, 5 miles west of Carmarthen in Wales.

Bancyfelin is a small village in South-west Wales located between St Clears and Carmarthen. The English translation of the name is Mill on the Hill (Banc-y-felin) of which there is unfortunately no remnant.

Up until the 1980s the village was plagued by traffic jams in the summer months due to holidaymakers journeying to South Wales, in particular Tenby and Pendine sands, however, a new dual carriageway bypass means traffic rockets past the village. The village is located mainly on the old A48 road, with the exception of the 'Council Estate' built on a nearby hill. It is the residents of the Council Estate that keep the local pub "The Fox and Hounds' short of beer and the CoOp shop empty of cigarettes. The Village has gradually expanded through the 90s and 00s with the building of houses on the outskirts taking advantage of the fantastic countryside location.

The Village has a small primary School, a post office, a pub, a chapel and a garage.

The Chapel graveyard is reputed to be haunted after a glowing figure was reported by a local, a Mr Puff Edwards (so named due to his asthma). This figure was said to be 'The Green Man', however, on investigation it transpired that Mr Edwards had consumed approximately 10 pints of lager and this may have affected the accuracy of his report. No other sightings of the Green Man have been made since.

Other notable historic events include the theft of a Morris Minor by a local youth, which concluded with the slowest police chase of a motorised vehicle.
