A scattered community
The Montgomeryshire village of Llangurig lies some five miles to the south-west of Llanidloes, on the road between Aberystwyth and Rhayader. The young River Wye passes nearby.
A School Inspector's report of 1945, recorded in the School Log Book, briefly described Llangurig School:
