About Visit Talybont On Usk
Welcome to Talybont-on-Usk – a special village in the heart of the Brecon Beacons National Park.
Visit Talybont On Usk Description
Talybont has a bit of everything – a canal, 2 rivers, a reservoir, hills, woods, waterfalls, wildlife, local arts and crafts, a village shop and wi-fi cafe and 4 excellent pubs. It can even boast its own fascinating history from the Iron Age to the Industrial Revolution.
Energetic visitors can enjoy walking, cycling, mountain biking or canoeing. Relaxing visitors can enjoy gently cycling or strolling along the picturesque canal path to our adjacent villages, bird watching, fishing, visiting the reservoir or simply sitting in the sun sipping locally brewed beer and chatting to the locals. We also boast some of the darkest night skies for star gazing and you can even see the Milky Way with your naked eye.
After a day of spectacular scenery and activity, our Talybont cafe offers tea and cakes and our 4 pubs offer a fantastic variety of quality meals prepared with fresh, locally sourced ingredients.
Talybont is close to Brecon (7 miles), Crickhowell (9 miles), Abergavenny (15 miles) and Hay on Wye (19 miles).
This project has been funded by the EU’s Interreg IVB NWE programme together with the Welsh Government’s Targeted Match Funding programme

The judges favourite photo for April is a very typical day at this time of year, full of sunshine, showers and rainbows. Congratulations to Mr & Mrs Mackeown who sent in this entry.
Stunning photos taken of the #milkyway last night at Llandetty Hall Farm by Daz Martin Photography. Talybont on Usk is the perfect spot for #stargazing.
If you are in the village today why not pop to The Usk for a great time.

February's judges favourite in the photograph competition is a lovely snowy scene taken by Mr & Mrs MacKeown of Coity Cottages. We had a sprinkling of snow on the mountains a few days ago, which is a reminder of how beautiful the area is in the winter. We would now love to see your Spring photos as the sun returns in a few days time, so please keep sending in your entries for March.

It's a wonderful place to live, with a great community spirit.
Grew up 12 miles away and only lived in the village for three years but feel like I've always lived here. Very friendly and always a great sense of community. I think I may just be here for good.
Great place to visit, long walks ,canal, pubs brilliant.
