Llanbrynmair

Llanbrynmair is a village, neighborhood and selecting ward in Montgomeryshire, Powys, on the A470 road between Caersws and Machynlleth. Llanbrynmair, in area, is the 2nd biggest in Powys. In 2011, it had a population of 920. The area consists of a number of hamlets: Talerddig, Dolfach, Tafolwern, Pandy, Cringoed and Pennant. The original centre goes to Llan, when driving to Llanidloes, where the local parish church of St Mary lies. The present centre (formerly called "Wynnstay") at the joint of the A470 and also B4518 rose to local importance with the structure of the new turnpike road in 1821 as well as the arrival of the train line in between Newtown and Machynlleth in 1861. Geographically, the area includes the valleys of three rivers-- Afon Twymyn, Afon Iaen and also Afon Rhiw Saeson-- and the surrounding uplands. The three rivers join around the major town and flow westwards as the Afon Twymyn in the direction of the Afon Dyfi and Cardigan Bay. The Cambrian train line, integrated in the 1860s, runs through Llanbrynmair and for a time offered an outlet for the mines at Dylife, 8 miles southern. The town station closed in 1965 as part of the "Beeching closures". There was a level crossing next to the terminal but, complying with the unexpected fatality of an American visitor in October 1999 and its summary as a "blackspot", the going across was closed and also the road diverted. The area is predominantly Welsh-speaking and reliant upon livestock farming. It was privileged to escape the foot and mouth disease episode in Britain in 2001.
