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.
Llangedwyn Memorial Hall in the centre of the village is used for events, meetings, concerts, classes and most other types of function. For bookings please phone 01691 780281
