History & amenities

St Bartholemew's church

Llanover is associated with Lady Llanover who lived locally all her life and left her mark on the village and the surrounding Llanover estate, still privately owned today. Her husband Sir Benjamin Hall became Baron Llanover.

The village church is dedicated to St. Bartholomew and is a grade II* listed building.^[3]

The River Usk flows close by, and to the west lies the Brecon and Monmouthshire canal, a scenic recreational boating route.

More recently, Llanover is the birthplace of Penelope Kathryn Clarke, the wife of François Fillon, former Prime Minister of France and right-wing candidate in the 2017 French presidential elections.
