Wales Middle

Counties: Powys and Dyfed

The area known as Mid Wales takes in the former counties of Montgomery and Radnor and part of Brecknock, now forming the new county of Powys (county town Llandrindod Wells), the former county of Cardigan, which is now part of Dyfed, and parts of Merioneth and Carmarthen.

The area has a wide variety of scenery, from the great sweep of Cardigan Bay with its sandy beaches to the border regions which were disputed with England for so many centuries. Here can be found farmland and sheep grazing pasture, characteristic half-timbered houses, tiny villages with old stone farmhouses surrounded by green fields in the middle of open heathland where time seems to have stood still.
