Talgarth is a small rural parish and market town in Powys, set on the western edge of the Black Mountains and within sight of the Brecon Beacons National Park. The community sits where the River Ennig runs through a broad valley, surrounded by rolling pasture and upland ridges that attract walkers and support traditional hill farming.
Historically a market and droving centre, the settlement retains a mix of stone buildings, independent shops and craft enterprises; a restored watermill now operates as a local museum and visitor draw. Today the local economy blends agriculture with outdoor tourism and community events that celebrate the area’s rural and historic character.
