The Black Mountains are a group of hills spread across parts of Powys and Monmouthshire in southeast Wales, and extending across the England–Wales border into Herefordshire. They are the easternmost of the four ranges of hills that comprise the Brecon Beacons national park, and are frequently confused with the westernmost, which is known as the Black Mountain. The Black Mountains may be roughly defined as those hills contained within a triangle defined by the towns of Abergavenny in the southeast, Hay-on-Wye in the north and the village of Llangors in the west. Other gateway towns to the Black Mountains include Talgarth and Crickhowell. The range of hills is well known to walkers and ramblers for the ease of access and views from the many ridge trails, such as that on the Black Hill in Herefordshire, at the eastern edge of the massif. The range includes the highest public road in Wales at Gospel Pass, and the highest point in southern England at Black Mountain.

The Berthin Brook is a minor right bank tributary of the River Usk in Monmouthshire, in south Wales. Flowing north from New Inn initially, it turns east at Little Mill to flow along a former glacial meltwater channel past the former Royal Ordnance Factory site at Glascoed and by Rhadyr to join the major river 1 km north of the town of Usk. At the height of the last ice age, the Usk valley glacier reached as far down the Usk valley as Little Mill and sediment-laden meltwater created a valley sandur over which the post-glacial Berthin Brook now flows.
