| History: |
Founded in 1962, registered in 1963.
The first home of the hunt was in a small mining village in Banwen, at the top of the Neath Valley. The first kennels were located in a disused lamproom of the village pit, kindly loaned to the hunt by the late Sir David Evans-Bevan. Founded as a true "working man's pack", the Banwen has been at the forefront of the hunting debate since its inception. |
