Newbridge-on-Wye (Welsh: Pontnewydd ar Wy) is a small village which lies, as its name suggests, on the River Wye, just downstream from the market town of Rhayader. The village was historically a stop off point for drovers, who moved livestock from place to place. It proved to be an ideal location for drovers to stop and rest because it afforded a safe crossing-point on the river Wye. This led to a settlement forming, including a large number of pubs.
