The Area
Our local area is probably one of Wales’ best kept secrets. Unspoilt mountain scenery with rushing streams, quiet forests and abundant wildlife, roads virtually devoid of traffic. The pace of life is a little like stepping back in time, quiet and peaceful.
Llanwrtyd Wells is the smallest town in Great Britain and sits astride the River Irfon in the picturesque Irfon Valley. It is in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with lovely walks and cycle rides. The Elan Valley with its lakes is also close by.
Whether you enjoy bird-watching, cycling, fishing, rambling, riding, touring or just being “at one” with nature, this area will not disappoint you.
