Llanfechain is a small village located in northern Powys, mid-Wales, between Llanfyllin and Llansanfraidd-ym mechain. It has a population of approximately 600 people.[1]
Features include a local pub, "plas-y-dinas", and small primary school. The parish church, St Garmon, was originally constructed in Norman times, and still retains many original features.[2] The village has held a village show on the August bank holiday weekend every year since 1966.[1]
The village was served by the Llanfyllin branch of the Cambrian Railway, which has since been dismantled.[3]
Llanfechain was the birthplace of Walter Davies, who undertook printed surveys of the rural economy and society of Wales at the turn of the 19th century.[4]
