The electoral ward of Dinas Cross covers the communities of Dinas Cross, Cwm Gwaun and Puncheston.
Dinas has a total of four pubs: The Country Club, The Ship Aground, The Freemasons and The Old Sailors. At one time there was also a cafe, a school, a fulltime post office and two shops. Now it has a Village Hall, a part time post office, a recently opened coffee shop, two shops and a garage.
