Penpergwm is a village in south Wales, situated along the A40 road, 3.9 miles south-east of Abergavenny and 19 miles west of Monmouth. The village was formerly host to a railway station on the Welsh Marches Line, but it closed in 1958.[1][2] The former station house is now a private residence.[3]
The former British politician Francis Pym was born in Penpergwm Lodge in the village.[4]
