History & Amenities
Llanover is associated with Lady Llanover who lived locally all her life and certainly 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. The River Usk flows close by, and to the west lies the Brecon and Monmouthshire canal, a scenic recreational boating route.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“History ... is, indeed, little more than the register of the crimes, follies, and misfortunes of mankind.
But what experience and history teach is this—that peoples and governments have never learned anything from history, or acted on principles deduced from it.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
