About

Maescar and Llywel ward encompasses a large, rural area in the northern reaches of the Brecon Beacons National Park. The landscape is dominated by the broad, open valley of the River Usk, with the high moorland of Mynydd Epynt forming its western boundary. Agriculture, primarily sheep farming, shapes much of the land. The scattered communities are small, centred around villages like Llywel and Maescar itself.

The area is traversed by the A40 trunk road, a major route through mid-Wales. A notable feature is the remote Llyn Brianne reservoir, situated in the upper Tywi valley to the west, which supplies water to South Wales. The historic church of St. David's in Llywel, with its distinctive saddleback tower, serves as a local landmark. The terrain offers extensive walking access onto the Epynt uplands.
