About

Rhiwcynon ward lies in the northeastern part of Powys, encompassing a rural area of hills and farmland. The landscape is defined by the River Ithon, which flows through its western section. The ward includes the village of Llanbadarn Fynydd and several smaller settlements and farms, with agriculture forming a central part of the local character. The terrain is primarily open, with scattered woodlands and a network of minor roads connecting the communities.

A notable feature is the presence of the Elan Valley Aqueduct, a significant piece of Victorian engineering that traverses the area underground. This infrastructure, carrying water from mid-Wales to Birmingham, represents a quiet but major historical footprint on the land. The ward's environment supports typical upland wildlife, and its location offers views towards the surrounding Cambrian Mountains, emphasising its secluded, pastoral setting.
