Abercraf is a village in the
Welsh county of
Powys. It lies in the extreme south of the county, in the Upper
Swansea Valley 3 miles (4.5 km) from the small town of
Ystradgynlais. The
Brecon Beacons National Park boundary begins to the north-west of the village. The village has several public houses, a rugby club, Abercraf RFC, and a Miners' Welfare Hall, a testament to the village's coal-mining past. The coal pits in nearby Caehopcyn ceased production in the
1960s, though an open-cast mine operates in the region.
