The electoral ward centred on Talybont-on-Usk sits in Powys, on the eastern flanks of the Brecon Beacons National Park. It follows the River Usk valley and includes upland farmland and the popular Talybont Reservoir; the village name Tal-y-bont literally refers to the end of a bridge, reflecting its riverside setting and historic crossing points.
Rural in character, the ward combines sheep and hill farming with a visitor economy built around walking, cycling and fishing, and supports local community amenities and small businesses. It returns a councillor to the county council and faces familiar rural issues such as housing pressure from holiday lets and second homes, while benefiting from strong conservation and outdoor‑recreation appeal.
