Briton Ferry (Welsh: Llansawel) is a town and community in the county borough of Neath Port Talbot, Wales. The Welsh name may indicate that the church, llan, is protected from the wind, awel. Alternatively, Sawel may be a derivative of Saul, St Paul's earlier name.[3] He once landed at Briton Ferry.[citation needed] An alternative Welsh name unused today is Rhyd y Brython,[4] a direct translation of Briton Ferry. The Normans referred to the River crossing as La Brittonne[5] and
Leland in 1540 as Britanne Fery.[5]
