About

The Ithon Valley ward lies in the rural heart of Powys, following the course of the River Ithon through a landscape of rolling farmland and scattered settlements. The area is defined by its agricultural character, with sheep farming being a central activity across its fields and gentle hills. Small villages like Llanbadarn Fynydd and Llanbister provide local hubs within this expansive, sparsely populated countryside.

A notable feature is the presence of the historic Offa's Dyke Path, which traverses the western edge of the ward, linking it to a much older borderland history. The geography is one of quiet river valleys and upland ridges, where communities are connected by narrow lanes rather than major roads, emphasising a removed and pastoral way of life.
