The initial centre goes to Llan, when driving to Llanidloes, where the neighborhood parish church of St Mary is located. The present centre (formerly called "Wynnstay") at the joint of the A470 as well as B4518 rose to regional prestige with the building of the brand-new turnpike road in 1821 and also the arrival of the railway line between Newtown and also Machynlleth in 1861. Geographically, the area includes the valleys of three rivers-- Afon Twymyn, Afon Iaen and Afon Rhiw Saeson-- and also the bordering uplands. The three rivers join around the major village and flow westwards as the Afon Twymyn towards the Afon Dyfi and also Cardigan Bay. The Cambrian railway line, built in the 1860s, goes through Llanbrynmair and temporarily provided an outlet for the mines at Dylife, 8 miles south. The town station closed in 1965 as part of the "Beeching closures". There was a level going across beside the station yet, adhering to the unintended fatality of an American site visitor in October 1999 and its summary as a "blackspot", the crossing was shut and the road diverted. The location is mainly Welsh-speaking and also reliant upon livestock farming. It was privileged to leave the foot and also mouth disease outbreak in Britain in 2001.
