An
important feature of Sennybridge is the Army camp which provides accommodation
for troops which is within easy reach of the training area located on Mynydd Eppynt, the extensive upland area to the north. This is all known as the
Sennybridge Training Area. It was created in the early years of World War II and
has been in continuous use since that time. Since troops only come here for
training and exercises, there is only a small resident military staff at 'The
Camp' (as it is always known locally). The majority of those working there and
maintaining services on the ranges are civilians. Consequently this work is an
important source of permanent and temporary employment for the residents of
Sennybridge and Defynnog.
