Nestled in the Usk Valley, between the upland massifs of the Central Beacons and the Black Mountains, is the village of Llangynidr. It is superbly situated as a base from which to explore the Brecon Beacons National Park and has a number of good accommodation options. The finest sight in the village is its Grade I-listed stone bridge.

From Llangynidr, a hike up one of the Beacon's few standalone hills, to the summit of Tor y Foel at 1,808 feet (551 m), is recommended. The ascent rewards with excellent views back towards Sugar Loaf and the top is a great vantage for the Central Beacons.

A nice local village that has the River Usk meandering through it. The river is crossed here by a very narrow historic stone bridge that is only one car width wide. The Usk makes for a great paddle through here too, if you're a kayaker. The village has a good-sized car park by the village hall, a nice pub, and a shop too. It is also the starting point for a popular local walk to the top of nearby Tor y Foel. However, its most popular attribute is the easy access to the Brecon and Monmouth Canal and the fact that here you have the Llangynidr Locks, a series of five canal locks that raise the canal 55-feet. It is simply a beautiful little village, and a very scenic area.
