The Church of St Peter (and St Cynidr) is located outside the Welsh village of Glasbury and dates back to the sixth century. Near the confluence of the rivers Wye and Llynfi, the church has experienced serious flooding which has required it to be rebuilt twice, in 1665 and 1838. The current church is designated a Grade II listed building and is open to the public for worship.

Gwernyfed High School
Gwernyfed High School

Gwernyfed High School is a high school in the village of Three Cocks, Brecon, Powys, Wales. The school is an English-medium school educating students between 11 and 19 years old from a mainly rural catchment area. It first opened as a school in 1950, previously being open as a munitions factory during World War 2. It currently has around 500 pupils. Founded in 1972, the school is housed in a Grade II listed Victorian mansion, Gwernyfed Park, which was designed by renowned architect William Eden Nesfield. With a rich history dating back to the Iron Age, the school is situated on a historic site that has been home to Welsh princes and landed gentry. There is a modern block which also accommodates classrooms and a drama studio. There is a building commissioned in 2008 which provides a dining hall and sports facilities. There are several acres of sports fields including rugby pitches, football and hockey pitches, athletics track, hardcourts and astro pitches. The grounds include listed rose gardens, orchards, pond and wildlife area and a stream. In 2023 the school was introduced to a new head teacher, Mrs Kirsty Retallik. She has implemented some more logos throughout the school with boards of inspirational quotes and saying, she also hopes to reconnect the students with a new library as the school has been without one since 2022 when it became the classroom for the geography teacher. Gwernyfed High School is situated in a rural location between the towns of Hay-on-Wye and Talgarth in the county of Powys, Wales and is located very close to the border with England. The school's catchment area spans across a wide rural region, encompassing small villages and hamlets in the surrounding countryside.
