The Drovers Arms at Casmael/Puncheston
A look at the map will show that numerous roads, green lanes and old tracks converge at Puncheston which acted as an important meeting and assembly point for farmers and drovers bringing animals from West Wales (and Ireland) across the hills and on to the Welsh borders and beyond via traditional droving routes. This was a tradition that stretched back at least to the C14. Henry V ordered large numbers of cattle to be driven from Wales to the cinque ports to supply his troops in France and from the C17 as many as 30,000 head were being brought into England from Wales. It was the coming of the railways that spelt the end of large-scale droving. On the pub signs a drover is illustrated with geese which were also herded long-distance, as well as sheep and pigs. Fresh water, overnight accommodation for man and beast, and access to smithying were essential at stopping places such as this, along with opportunities for the drovers to fraternise and to make financial transactions. Sometimes their bosses (the cattle owners) would accompany the herds with horses and carts, hence the two wheels propped up outside the pub.

Village square and Baptist chapel
Smyrna (1824) chapel can be seen beyond the raised triangle (called the square) where there is a memorial to the Welsh poet, Evan Rees (1850-1923) who was born at Bwlchwil in this parish. He started life as a miner before becoming a Calvinistic Methodist minister. He is remembered today as a poet, hymn-writer and bard who won the chair at the International Eisteddfod in Chicago in 1893 under the name Dyfed.

Entering Casmael/Puncheston
From the southwest, the road from Casnewydd Bach/Little Newcastle. The village is fortunate enough still to retain its school, the predecessor of which is where the poet Waldo Williams was headmaster for many years.

Road junction, Casmael/Puncheston
This is a nucleated village positioned at the crossing of ways and once close to the railway line that ran through the Anghof valley. It is said that the Normans who established themselves here forced the natives to abandon their scattered dwellings and move into a settlement where they could be more effectively controlled. There remain quite a number of this simple, single-storey cottages that would perhaps have once been thatched.
