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. The main road running through the village is the A470, running from Rhayader to the north and Builth Wells to the south. The B4358 also passes through the village; it runs from Beulah in the west through to Llandrindod Wells in the east. This road system is useful for commuters travelling from west and north-west Wales to areas in the south.
