Llanhilleth is a village between Ebbw Vale and Crumlin in western Monmouthshire.
Two large mounds in the field behind the Carpenter's Arms are the remains of the medieaval Llanhilleth Castle which originally had two large, stone-built towers.
Part of the Monmouthshire Canal ran through the parish; the Ebbw River forms the western boundary of the parish.
Nearby are the villages of Aberbeeg and St Illtyd, the latter of which contains the parish church.
