Llanfrynach

Llanfrynach is a village and parish in Brecknockshire. It lies just to the south-east of Brecon in the Brecon Beacons National Park. The village sits astride the Nant Menasgin, a right bank tributary of the River Usk. The B4558 passes just to its north and the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal also passes around the village. The name is from the Welsh language signifying the 'church of Brynach'.^[1] ^[2]

The Cefn Brynich Canal Bridge Aqueduct over the Usk is a Grade II* listed structure.^[3]
