Llanfihangel Cwmdu with Bwlch and Cathedine is a quiet, rural parish set on the eastern edge of the Black Mountains within the Brecon Beacons National Park in Powys, Wales. It comprises the upland settlements of Cwmdu, Bwlch and Cathedine, with Bwlch occupying a well‑used pass on the A40 and offering sweeping views over the Usk Valley; the surrounding ridges and bridleways make the area popular with walkers and mountain bikers.
The local economy is traditionally agricultural, dominated by hill farming and old stone farms, but tourism and holiday accommodation have grown as visitors come for the landscape and quiet villages. The parish has a strong sense of community centred on village halls, local events and the rural way of life, while the historic pattern of drovers’ tracks, stone barns and chapels underlines a long countryside heritage.
