The initial centre goes to Llan, on the road to Llanidloes, where the local parish church of St Mary is located. The current centre (formerly called "Wynnstay") at the junction of the A470 and B4518 rose to local prestige with the building of the new turnpike road in 1821 and also the arrival of the railway line between Newtown as well as Machynlleth in 1861. Geographically, the area consists of the valleys of 3 rivers-- Afon Twymyn, Afon Iaen and Afon Rhiw Saeson-- and the bordering uplands. The three rivers join around the major town and circulation westwards as the Afon Twymyn in the direction of the Afon Dyfi and also Cardigan Bay. The Cambrian train line, constructed in the 1860s, runs through Llanbrynmair and for a while supplied an electrical outlet for the mines at Dylife, 8 miles southern. The village station closed in 1965 as part of the "Beeching closures". There was a degree going across alongside the station however, following the unexpected fatality of an American site visitor in October 1999 and its summary as a "blackspot", the crossing was closed as well as the road drawn away. The area is predominantly Welsh-speaking and reliant upon livestock farming. It was lucky to run away the foot and also mouth condition outbreak in Britain in 2001.
