llangynidr - Mountain
View, Castle Road, Llangynidr, Crickhowell,
Powys, NP8
Llangynidr is an unusual village because it has both
the Brecon and Monmouth Canal and the River Usk running
through it. On the canal there are the brightly painted
boats leisurely passing by or waiting their turn to
pass through the numerous locks.
The River Usk has some exceptionally beautiful stretches
of water, the river here is rocky and dotted with rapids;
there are pools to swim in and fish to be caught; the
Usk is famous for its excellent trout and salmon fishing.
The bridge over the river is so narrow and heavily buttressed
that it is only single lane traffic into the village.
Behind the village is Llangynidr Mountain, which rises
steeply up with its wimberry covered moors. The village
is an excellent location for exploring the whole of
the National Park. There are two excellent pub/restaurants,
a garage, two village shops a Post Office, large
playing fields and a park with public tennis courts.
Llangynidr is on a bus route mid-way between Abergavenny
and Brecon. approximately 12 miles from Abergavenny
which is the nearest railway station. Brecon is 8 miles
and Crickhowell 3 miles.
