Hermon () is a small rural village in the parish of Llanfyrnach and the community of Crymych, Pembrokeshire, Wales, about 1 mile (1.6 km) southeast of Crymych.[1]
History
editA pre-1850 parish map shows an inn in the village,[2] The Lamb Inn which, according to CAMRA, is now (2018) closed.[3]
Chapel

There are two chapels in the village. Hermon Baptist Chapel was built in 1808 and subsequently rebuilt the same century.[4] Brynmyrnach Welsh Independent Chapel was built in 1888.[5][6]
Community Centre
