About

Cantref is a rural ward located in the northern part of Monmouthshire, bordering the county of Powys. The area is characterised by rolling farmland, small settlements, and wooded valleys, with the River Usk flowing through its landscape. It includes the villages of Llanfihangel Crucorney and Llanvihangel Gobion, alongside scattered farms and homes. The terrain is part of the wider Usk Valley, with the Black Mountains forming a dramatic backdrop to the northwest.

The ward's history is closely tied to agricultural patterns and old routeways, including the historic A465 road. A notable local landmark is the Skirrid Mountain Inn, reputed to be one of the oldest public houses in Wales. The area provides access to walking paths along the Usk and into the surrounding hills, with land use dominated by pastoral farming. Community life centres on the small villages and their traditional amenities.
