Gwehelog is a village settlement in the community of Llanarth, in Monmouthshire, south east Wales.

Location

[edit]

Gwehelog is located 2 miles (3.2 km) south of the village of Raglan and 2 miles (3.2 km) north of the town of Usk in very rural Monmouthshire.[2]

History and amenities

[edit]

There is a Methodist chapel nearby, built in 1822, in a Gothic vernacular style. It was modified in 1902.[3] The minister is Rev Ruth Lownsbrough and Sunday services are at 3.00 pm or 4:00 pm. The chapel is also available for community use.[4]

The local pub and restaurant is the Hall Inn.[5][6] There is also a village hall available for hire.[7]

In May 2020 a man died, another was seriously injured, and a woman sustained leg injuries after an attack by a water buffalo kept at a farm near Gwehelog. The animal was later destroyed.[8]
