Crickhowell
Crickhowell is a small town as well as neighborhood in southeastern Powys, Wales, near Abergavenny, and remained in the historical county of Brecknockshire. The name Crickhowell is extracted from that of the neighboring Iron Age hill fort of Crug Hywel above the community, the Welsh language name being anglicised by map-makers as well as regional English-speaking individuals. The town lies on the River Usk, on the southern side of the Black Mountains and also in the eastern part of the Brecon Beacons National Park. Substantial parts of the surrounding countryside, over 20,000 acres (81 km2) form part of the Glanusk Park estate. An electoral ward in the very same name exists. This ward includes The Vale of Grwyney neighborhood and also has a total population of 2,801 as taken at the 2011 census. The existing councillor is John Morris, a Liberal Democrat.
