Llandegveth, also known by its Welsh name Llandegfedd, is a village in Monmouthshire, south east Wales. It is located between Cwmbran, in Torfaen, and Usk in rural Monmouthshire.
History and amenities
[edit]The parish church, dedicated to Saint Tegfedd, was once called Merthyr Tegfedd. It originates from the early Norman period, but was extensively restored in the 19th century. It has a fine example of a medieval, curved embanked churchyard.[1][2]
Llandegfedd Reservoir, located nearby, is named after the village. It is famous for coarse fishing and holds record pike. It is also popular for open-water diving, sailing and waterskiing.[citation needed]
