Trap (or Trapp) is a hamlet in the county of Carmarthenshire in southwest Wales, located on the western border of the Brecon Beacons National Park, around four miles southeast of the town of Llandeilo.
It is unclear whether the name – which often appears as Trapp on maps,[1] although the spelling with a single p is generally preferred locally[2] – refers to a fish-trap, a water-trap (mill-leat), or, given that the village is in Cwm Lladron ("robbers' valley"), an ambush point.
[3] The Afon Cennen flows through the village and is bridged there by the road from Ffairfach to Drefach.
The remains of Capel Dewi, a medieval chapel, are situated to the east of the road south of the village.
The village still brings in visitors with events such as the Trap Show, held on the last Saturday in July, at which there are competitions such as largest vegetable and prize animals and the annual Trap Fun Run, the 25th staging of which took place in May 2012.
