Bronllys is a small village in Powys in mid‑Wales, historically part of Brecknockshire, set on the banks of the River Llynfi at the edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park. It’s best known for the ruins of Bronllys Castle, a medieval stronghold that, together with the village church, gives the place a strong sense of history amid a striking rural landscape.
Today Bronllys is a quiet, close‑knit community with a largely agricultural economy supplemented by tourism and local services, including a small community hospital. The village makes a handy base for walkers and visitors exploring nearby market towns such as Talgarth and Brecon, and for anyone wanting to experience traditional Welsh countryside life.
