Llanwrin ( i ) is a small village in the valley of the Afon Dyfi in Powys, Wales, about two miles north-east of Machynlleth.
Historically, it was in the county of Montgomeryshire (Welsh : Sir Drefaldwyn).
The village is named after its church, dedicated to St. Gwrin, which dates from late medieval times and was last restored in 1864. [1] The nearby historically significant house of Mathafarn dates back to at least 1485.
Once a thriving community with its own blacksmith, pub and village shop – all long since closed – in recent years the village has been a collection of houses stretched along the B4404 road.
Llanwrin is known locally for its various straw man characters, which are located from time to time on the small triangle-shaped village green.
