Talybont-on-Usk lies at the heart of the Brecon Beacons in the beautiful Usk valley. Its history is closely linked to the Brecon & Abergavenny canal which passes through the village, and the Brinore Tramroad which in the 19th Century was an important transport route for coal and limestone from the valleys of south Wales down to the canal. The area is now a thriving farming and tourist centre. Good pubs, a range of accommodation and an excellent little village shop mean that it is a great base for enjoying our beautiful countryside.

Henderson Hall turns 50 - Join in the Celebrations
2019 is the fifty year anniversary of the opening of Henderson Hall. Coordinated by a local committee, built by JL Stephens, the local builders and named after the family who gave money for the hall to be built. The hall was officially opened by Mrs J Henderson on July 12th 1969. To mark this special birthday, the Henderson Hall Committee and the Talybont Community Council are planning a number of celebratory events and activities. We are throwing the hall doors open and encouraging everyone in the community to get involved. A family day with a picnic tea party, children's events, a 1960's evening, a classical concert, a theatre performance, a drumming workshop and a sing-a-long evening are all being considered - with any other thoughts welcome, As part of these celebrations, it is hoped to create a permanent record of the history of the Hall and its surroundings;acknowledging all the wonderful activities that have taken place over the years and the amazing people who have given their time and energy for the benefit of the community as a whole. To this end, if you have anything to share, either through stories or photos we would love to hear from you.
