Vale of Grwyney


The Vale of Grwyney is a community in the county of Powys, Wales, and the historic county of Brecknockshire, and is 30.0 miles from Cardiff and 130.6 miles from London. It follows most of the border between Powys and Monmouthshire. It takes its name from the river Grwyney which flows through it into the River Usk. The river Grwyney has two sources, called the Grwyne Fechan and the Grywne Fawr, which both rise in the Black Mountains and converge into one river near Llanbedr before flowing down to the Usk.
The community includes the villages of Glangrwyney, Llangenny and Llanbedr. In 2011 the population of The Vale of Grwyney was 738 with 9.4% of them able to speak Welsh.
The Black Mountains, Wales are in the community.
The community is part of the Crickhowell electoral ward, which sends a county councillor to sit on Powys County Council.
