Soar, Powys

Human settlement in Wales

Soar is a small village in Powys, Wales, 37 miles North West of Cardiff. It sits at the foot of Mynydd Epynt, and is near Brecon in the historic county of Brecknockshire. The nearby settlement of Ffinnant - divided into the hamlets of Upper Ffinnant (Ffinnant Uchaf Soar) and Lower Ffinnant (Ffinnant Isaf Soar) - may have been the site of the Battle of Ffinnant at which Ithel ap Hywel (king of Gwent) was killed.
