Llanfihangel Nant Melan

Llanfihangel Nant Melan is a small village in Powys, Wales, in the ancient county of Radnorshire. It is around 7 miles from the English border.

The village lies in a valley on the A44 road on the edge of the Radnor Forest, and is home to a church and two pubs. The A481 road from Builth joins the A44 near here. Above the village, and adjacent to the A44, can be found Crug Eryr Castle, a motte-and-bailey structure noted for its association with the visit in 1188 of the Archbishop of Canterbury and Gerald of Wales.
