About

Llansantffraid ward lies in the eastern part of Powys, centred on the village of Llansantffraid-ym-Mechain. The area is defined by the River Vyrnwy, which flows through the community, and its surrounding fertile floodplain. Agricultural land, primarily for grazing and some arable use, characterises the low-lying landscape.

The ward includes the notable Llynclys Hill, a limestone outcrop that provides a distinct topographic feature. The local economy has traditional ties to farming, with the settlement itself serving as a service centre for the surrounding rural population. The historic church, dedicated to Saint Bride, stands near the river and gives the village its name.
