Llanspyddid is a small rural village just west of Brecon within the Brecon Beacons National Park. It lies within the valley of the River Usk in the community of Glyn Tarell in the county of Powys. Llanspyddid sits on the A40 trunk road between Brecon and Llandovery, 2 miles from Brecon.
Llanspyddid has a vibrant community with regular community events taking place from bingo nights to summer fetes. It has a residents’ organisation who meet regularly to organise events and is known as the Friends of Llanspyddid. The Friends of Llanspyddid are regularly supported financially by the Glyn Tarell Community Council.
Llanspyddid has its own village website and Facebook presence. The community has raised funds to purchase a marquee, playground equipment and for well-being events. Currently events are held either in the marquee erected on the church field or in the playground.

This runs Monday through Saturday between 6.40 am and 8.15 pm. There is a limited bus service on Sunday approximately every two hours between 9.30am and 5.30 pm.
