Llanbedr is a small village and ancient parish in Brecknockshire two miles north-east of Crickhowell. It stands above the river known as the Grwyne Fechan just above its confluence with the Grwyne Fawr in the southern parts of the Black Mountains range.
The name 'Llanbedr' is Welsh for 'Peter's Church'; a common enough name.
The village sits within the shadow of Table Mountain, an outlying spur of Pen Cerrig-calch on which is perched the Iron Age hill fort of Crug Hywel, from which Crickhowell takes its own name.
The parish church is the Church of St Peter, a Grade-II* listed building.
