Crai

Crai

Crai is a hamlet in the Brecon Beacons National Park in the county of Powys, south Wales. It gives its name to the community within which are the hamlet of Felin-Crai and a large number of dispersed farms around the valley of the Afon Crai. The river is dammed 2km / 1.5mi southwest of the village to form Cray Reservoir. [1] The name may derive from Welsh 'crai' meaning rough and referring originally to the nature of the river. [2]
