Llangurig is a small rural community in Powys, Wales, set where the valley narrows beneath the slopes of Plynlimon and near the source of the River Wye. The village sits on the A470 and feels very much part of the rolling, sparsely populated uplands of the Cambrian Mountains, popular for hillwalking and wide, open views.
Locally the economy is dominated by sheep farming and small-scale tourism, with a tight-knit community around the village hall and church named for St Curig. Historically it was touched by the 19th-century railway boom - famously there was an abortive branch line project - so the place combines ancient rural traditions with traces of Victorian ambition.
