The beautiful UK village so dreamy that residents don't want to leave The quaint village of Talybont-on-Usk, nestled within the majestic landscape of the Bannau Brycheiniog Brecon Beacons National Park, has its own community website that describes life there as 'as active as you want, as peaceful as you need'.
Having resided in the village for about a decade now, Julia said: "We wanted to be somewhere where we could still be accessible to family in Hertfordshire and London, and we were looking for a village that had a shop, a pub and a community that we could slot into, and it's got all of those.
"The hall is also used for parties", she said, "plus we do a big bonfire night from the hall and there's a village show in August when we all bring our own produce, we are doing something for VE Day in May, and there's a hall committee which organises things for the local community.
According to Julia, the village is bustling with clubs to join and activities to partake in, mostly centred around the village hall.
There are facilities and amenities in the nearby market towns of Brecon, Crickhowell and Abergavenny, but it's the national park that is the biggest draw for activities such as riding, rambling, biking, hiking, sailing on the nearby Talybont Reservoir, and exploring the river routes on land or on the water.
