Talybont-on-Usk (Welsh: Tal-y-bont ar Wysg) is a village and community in Powys, Wales, in the historic county of Brecknockshire.
Allt yr Esgair is a steep-sided hill to the north east of Talybont, and has an Iron Age settlement on the summit.
In his 1893 book Wales and her language, John E Southall, reports that over 60% of the population of the area spoke Welsh, although the town was only a few miles from more anglicised Abergavenny.
[6] Talybont-on-Usk is a popular place for walkers and offers the Henry Vaughan walk through the nearby countryside where the 18th century poet once lived.
