Llanddeusant

Llanddeusant is a village and community located in Carmarthenshire, Wales. It lies within the Brecon Beacons National Park, situated in the upper reaches of the Usk valley. The name Llanddeusant translates to "church of the two saints," likely referring to Saint Deiniol and Saint Teilo, prominent figures in Welsh Christianity. The village itself is small and rural, characterized by traditional stone-built cottages and a surrounding landscape of rolling hills and agricultural land.

Historically, Llanddeusant has been associated with farming and livestock rearing, which remains a significant part of the local economy. The area is popular with walkers and outdoor enthusiasts due to its proximity to scenic routes and hillwalking opportunities within the national park. Nearby attractions include the Usk Reservoir, a large man-made lake that provides water for much of South Wales and is a popular spot for watersports and fishing. The village church, also named Llanddeusant Church, is a focal point of the community and retains much of its historical architecture. The community of Llanddeusant encompasses a wider rural area beyond the immediate village settlement.
