Description

Bronllys is a village in Powys between the towns Brecon and Talgarth. It has recently benefited from a new bypass as part of the Talgarth Relief Road and Bronllys Bypass scheme. Despite being a small village it has a swimming pool and small leisure centre, post office and hospital.
The nearby presence of Bronllys castle (NPRN 96535), a motte and bailey fortress thought to occupy the site of a pre-Norman llys (a princely court), and a moated site on the edge of the village (306056) suggests medieval or earlier origins for a settlement here.
