Brecon Beacons was recently named as one of the ten most beautiful places on Earth by Time Out. There are plenty of spots in the national park that are well worth a visit. The quaint village of Talybont-on-Usk is one. It has its own community website that describes life there as 'as active as you want, as peaceful as you need'. The village is situated alongside the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal where it intersects with the Caerfanell river and its tributary Nant Bwrefwr, which flow into the nearby River Usk.

This convergence of two bodies of water, one still and one flowing, adds a unique natural element to the stunning landscape that surr

ounds the community. It offers captivating views of mountains, fields, woodlands and even waterfalls that stretch to the horizon in all directions; truly idyllic.

Fishing and birdwatching are popular pastimes here, but this village is far from sleepy. It offers a vibrant community for those seeking to immerse themselves, yet simply wandering around the village is a delight in itself.

The area also boasts the mesmerising Blaen y Glyn waterfall nestled within Talybont Forest. This captivating destination is part of the Lower and Upper Blaen y Glyn Waterfall Walk, but there are numerous other trails in the vicinity that can easily lure locals and tourists to explore the stunning landscape.
