Talgarth to Llanfilo Loop Walk with Legends and History

This walk is a gentle exploration of local history and legends to the west of the little River Ennig which runs through Talgarth. A pleasant half day walk, it crosses the Ennig and uses a combination of footpaths and quiet lanes, gradually rising up a hill to the west of Talgarth for a visit to the interesting village of Llanfilo which has an unusual church and legends associated with its' ancient hill fort and holy well. Part of the walk can easily be combined with a visit to the college and museum at Trefecca by starting there and then following the directions from Tredustan which is nearby.

This walk is best accompanied by a picnic or snacks as there are no pubs or shops on the route once you leave Talgarth. At Llanfilo there are spectacular views to the Black Mountains and Brecon Beacons. The church of St Bilo is named for a daughter of a legendary local king, Brychan. It is an unusual medieval church with a very early font (pre-Norman). The key is available for those wanting to see the very worthwhile interior which includes a fine rood screen and other. Instructions on the porch. There are springs nearby and the remnants of a holy well with an interesting story.
