About

Talgarth ward encompasses the historic market town of the same name, located on the northern edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park. The area is defined by the River Ennig, which flows through the community, and is bordered by agricultural land and lower hills. The town itself is centred around its clock tower and traditional high street, serving as a local hub for the surrounding rural settlements.

A notable feature is the partially restored Talgarth Mill, a watermill on the Ennig. The ward's landscape includes the slopes of Mynydd Troed and access to the Black Mountains, providing a clear transition from settled valleys to open upland. The community hospital and secondary school are significant institutions for this part of Powys.
