Llandrindod Wells Attractions

 
From Rhayader drive east by either the A 470 or the A 44 to reach the county town of Powys, Llandrindod Wells (pop. 4,065), the leading spa of Wales, with magnesium, sulfur, chalybeate and other springs. In its heyday the town attracted some 80,000 visitors every year to take the cure, mainly for rheumatism and gout. From this period it has preserved a legacy of Georgian houses, wide streets, spacious parks and numerous hotels. There are excellent facilities for sport and entertainment, while the museum on Temple Street has an interesting archaeological collection. The golf-course, 1,100ft/335m above sea level, with fine views of the valley below, is one of the highest in Britain. There is good fishing in the River Eithon and the lake in the middle of the town.
