Newbridge-on-Wye is a small village on the banks of the River Wye in Powys, Wales, set where river valley meets the lower slopes of the Cambrian Mountains. It sits within easy reach of market towns such as Builth Wells and Llandrindod Wells, and its name reflects the historic bridge that provided a local crossing of the Wye.
The settlement has a distinctly rural character: agriculture remains important, while fishing, walking and other outdoor tourism bring visitors to enjoy the river, wildlife and nearby hills. Local life revolves around small businesses, village facilities and community events, giving it the feel of a close-knit, service‑centre village for the surrounding countryside.
