Craig y nos Country Park is in the heart of the ‘Fforest Fawr UNESCO Global Geopark’ and a great place to start exploration of this exciting destination. The tables are the latest development in the creation of a Geopark Discovery Point where you can find out more about our Geopark, what makes it special and where to go. There are three tables to enjoy. You can journey from the Big Bang to present day at the timeline game table where you will encounter millions of years of adventure! If that’s too exciting you can enjoy the stunning reconstruction illustrations explaining how the local hill, Cribarth, was reshaped by industry. The third table explores how people have explored, lived and worked in the Swansea Valley over time. These are the first interpretation tables in the National Park and we hope they will prove popular however we would like to remind visitors to keep a 2m distance between each other whilst on the site.

  • Community No
    FINAL PROPOSALS Community No. B20 - LLANGORS Introduction 1. The present community of Llangors is located in south-eastern Brecknockshire. Its topography is defined by the broadening vale of the northward flowing afon Llynfi, which at Llangors forms the largest natural lake in Powys. To the southwest, this valley is bounded by Allt yr Esgair; to the east it is bounded by Mynydd Troed, Mynydd Llangors and Cefn Moel at the western edge of the Black Mountains. The B4560 runs through the community, which is otherwise served by a network of unclassified county roads that generally run north-south to each side of the geographical barrier that is formed by the afon Llynfi and Llangorse Lake / Llyn Safaddan. Llangors is defined as a 2nd tier settlement in the Brecon Beacons National Park Unitary Development Plan, while Llanfihangel Tal-y-llyn is defined as a large village in the Powys Unitary Development Plan. The remainder of the population lives in scattered farms and dwellings and in the two rural settlements defined in the Powys Unitary Development Plan: Llanwern and Talyllyn. 2. Apart from its north-western third, this community lies within the Brecon Beacons National Park. 3. The community has a population of 1,045, an electorate of 871 (2005) and a council of 12 members. The community is warded: Llanfihangel Talyllyn with 340 electors and four councillors; Llangasty Talyllyn with 161 and three, and Llangors with 370 and five. The precept required for 2005 is £7,000, representing a Council Tax Band D equivalent of £14.99. 4. In the 1985 Review, the Local Government Boundary Commission for Wales formed a new community of Llangors by merging the then small communities of Llanwern, Llanfihangel Tal-y-llyn, Llangorse, most of the then community of Llangasty-Talyllyn and the northern half of the then community of Cathedine.

  • Talybont-On-Usk.Pdf
    FINAL PROPOSALS Community No. B29 - TALYBONT-ON-USK Introduction 1. The north-east part of present community of Talybont-on-Usk lies in the valley of the river Usk where the main settlements in the community - the 2nd tier settlements of Pencelli and Talybont and the unclassified settlements of Scethrog and Llansantffraed - are located. To the north, the valley rises steeply to Allt yr Esgair, which provides a natural boundary between this community and the community of Llangors. In the south, the landscape of this community is defined by the more undulating moorland and heavily forested extents of the eastern Brecon Beacons. It is the high points of this area, at Bryn, Craig Pwllfa, Craig y Fan, Craig y Fan-ddu, Yr Allt, Waun-rydd and Tor y foel, that bound the southern part of community. Here the valley of the river Caerfanell and the Talybont Reservoir provide the main focus for habitation, with the small, unclassified settlement of Aber to the north of the reservoir. In its extreme southwest, this community falls to the upper reaches of the river Taf Fechan, where the community boundary follows a centre line through Pontsticill Reservoir on the northern outskirts of the County Borough of Merthyr Tydfil. The 2nd tier settlement of Pontsticill is partitioned by the community-county boundary, with some ten electors living in the community of Talybont-on-Usk. This settlement is some nine miles by narrow, unclassified county road from Talybont; it is less than three miles from the centre of Merthyr Tydfil. 2. The whole of this community lies within the Brecon Beacons National Park.
