About

Gobion Fawr is a predominantly rural ward in central Monmouthshire, characterised by rolling farmland, scattered settlements, and wooded valleys. The area centres on the village of Llanover, with its historic church and estate grounds shaping the local landscape. The terrain is defined by the River Usk flowing to the south and the wooded slopes of the Sugar Loaf mountain rising to the north, creating a distinct valley environment.

The ward's economy has long been connected to agriculture and forestry. A notable local feature is the extensive Llanover Estate, which has influenced land use and conservation for generations. Smaller communities like Llanellen and Penpergwm are part of the ward, connected by country lanes. The Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal passes through the southern part, following the Usk's course.
