Llanvihangel-Ystern-Llewern (Welsh: Llanfihangel-Ystum-Llywern) is a village in Monmouthshire, south east Wales. It is located between Abergavenny and Monmouth and north of Raglan. The River Trothy passes close by.

History and amenities

Joseph Bradney, the historian, acquired, partly by inheritance and partly purchase, an estate at Tal-y-coed Court, where he settled at an early age.[1] A Latin tablet in St Michael's Church in the village records his achievements. Bradney was also the owner of The Pant in the village, a late-medieval house, with an attached Quaker Meeting House.[2]

The Offa's Dyke Path long distance footpath passes through the village. The village has a parish church dedicated to St. Michael.
