The Bryn (also Llangattock-Juxta-Usk or Llangattock Nigh Usk) (Welsh: Llangatwg Dyffryn Wysg), is a small village on the left bank of the River Usk in Monmouthshire, southeast Wales. It is accessed by a cul-de-sac minor road from the B4598 road, the reclassified former trunk road between Raglan and Abergavenny, now replaced by the modern A40 dual carriageway which runs east–west immediately north of the village.

On the western edge of the village is St Cadoc's Church, a Gothic perpendicular style Grade II* listed building probably dating from the fifteenth century. [1] The village falls within the administrative community of Llanover. The Usk Valley Walk passes along the riverside path to the south.

Mynydd Llangatwg or Llangattock Mountain is a hill in the Brecon Beacons National Park mostly in the county of Powys, south Wales but also extending into both Monmouthshire and Blaenau Gwent. It is named from the village of Llangatwg which sits in the valley of the River Usk to the north of it. It is essentially an undulating plateau rising in the west to a height of 530 metres (1,740 ft) at grid reference SO171157 and in the east to a height of 529 metres (1,736 ft) at Hen Dy-aderyn / Twr Pen-cyrn. This latter spot is marked by a trig point. The shallow pool of Pwll Gwy-rhoc sits in a broad depression towards the northern edge of the plateau whilst a smaller pool frequently occupies a large shakehole a few hundred metres to its west. The hill forms an impressive northern scarp overlooking the Usk valley and commonly referred to as the Llangattock Escarpment. Its southern margins are more subdued. Its eastern end is defined by the drops into the Clydach Gorge. Beyond the B4560 to the west the hill merges with Mynydd Llangynidr which has a similar character.
