Glyn Tarell is a small rural parish in Powys, Wales, occupying the upper valley of the River Tarell on the northern fringes of the Brecon Beacons. It is defined by steep upland ridges, moorland and scattered farms, with a sparse population and a long-standing sheep‑farming tradition.
The parish is popular with walkers and anglers, offering wide views towards central peaks such as Pen y Fan, and its economy now blends traditional agriculture with holiday lets and outdoor tourism; historic parish churches, old drovers' tracks and close links to the market town of Brecon give the area a distinctly rural, heritage-rich character.
