Pen-y-Bont-Fawr

Welcome to our communities of Pen-y-bont-fawr, Pen-y-Garnedd and Hirnant.

Pen-y-bont-fawr is situated  at the confluence of the  river Tanat and the river Barrog in the upper Tanat valley.The village is surrounded by steep hills, forests and waterfalls and is an excellent start from which to explore the Berwyn mountains. The village has a good range of community services and facilities.

Siop Eirianfa and post office, garage, Railway Inn, primary school, community centre, church and chapel are all to be found within easy walking distance of the village centre. Tanat Valley buses provide a service to Llanrhaedr ym mochnant and the local market town of Oswestry.

The area has a strong tradition of Welsh culture and many people speak Welsh either as a first or second language - great pride being taken in the traditional and contemporary music making of the community!

Each year the combined village horticultural and sheep dog trials on August bank holiday weekend draw visitors from both far and  near.
