About the Community

Llangedwyn Community Council represents a rural community centred in the Tanat Valley in the Welsh Borderlands. Originally in Denbighshire (Clwyd), the parish became part of Powys in 1996 following boundary revisions and comprises the village of Llangedwyn together with the hamlets of Bwlch-y-ddar, Pentrefelin and Penybont Llanerch Emrys.

Llangedwyn is twinned with the French village of Omerville and the two villages exchange visits on alternate years.
