Llanbedr is a small village situated approximately two miles from the larger market town of Crickhowell in the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park, an area which is popular with walkers and cyclists and a sought after region for home relocation, tourism, and visitors. Llanbedr has an active village community with events taking place in the village hall which provides a great space for leisure and entertainment activities. The village has its own pub, the Red Lion, which provides a welcome respite from the many walks that this scenic area has to offer, in addition to the Dragons Head, in the neighbouring village of Llangenny. For a slice of history and heritage, the local church of St Peter is home to a yew tree believed to be about 3,000 years old.
