Crucorney is a largely rural ward in north Monmouthshire, Wales, lying at the foot of the distinctive Sugar Loaf and on the western fringes of the Brecon Beacons and Black Mountains. It includes small villages such as Llanvihangel Crucorney and Pandy, and is popular with walkers thanks to nearby hill routes and the line of Offa's Dyke.
The local economy is still rooted in farming but bolstered by tourism and outdoor recreation, with a notable historic feel from medieval churches, stone cottages and long-established community halls; many residents commute to Abergavenny for work and services while village life remains active with local events and small businesses.
