Machynlleth

About

Machynlleth ward is located in the southern part of Powys, within the historic county of Montgomeryshire. The area is centred on the market town of Machynlleth itself, which lies at the confluence of the River Dyfi and the River Llyfnant. The surrounding landscape is defined by the Dyfi Valley, with the Cambrian Mountains to the east and the edges of the Snowdonia National Park to the north and west. This geography creates a distinct, valley-focused settlement pattern.

The town functions as a key service centre for the wider rural region. It is historically significant as the site of Owain Glyndŵr's 1404 parliament, considered by some as the first Welsh parliament. The weekly market and the traditional clock tower on Heol Maengwyn are focal points of community activity. The area is also a gateway to the Dyfi Biosphere Reserve, a UNESCO-designated area recognised for its sustainable development and conservation.
