Talybont Reservoir
Talybont Reservoir is the largest stillwater reservoir in the central Bannau Brycheiniog, at 318 acres (1.29 km2).
About 2 miles South of the village, the reservoir was completed just before World War II to provide drinking water for the town (now city) of Newport. The workforce to build the dam and surrounding works travelled by train from as far away as Newport. The railway ran along the eastern bank of the reservoir, and is now an excellent nature walk
