Llanigon is a small village and parish in Powys, Wales, set on the eastern fringe of the Brecon Beacons and close to the rolling ridges of the Black Mountains. Historically part of Brecknockshire, it sits near the book town of Hay-on-Wye and enjoys broad views across moorland and pasture, making it a quiet base for walkers and visitors exploring the border country.
The local economy remains largely agricultural, dominated by sheep and hill farming, with a scattering of historic farmhouses and a parish church of medieval origin at the village core. Community life is typical of small Welsh villages - centred on local events and rural ties - while proximity to Hay-on-Wye and scenic routes brings occasional tourism and seasonal visitors.
