Llanyre village lies in the Upper Wye Valley, 1½ miles to the west of the town of Llandrindod Wells, or ‘Landod’ as it is known to the locals. The town owes its origins to the spring waters that were recognised to have healing properties, and it was the Romans who first took advantage of this, but it was the Victorians who made their mark here. This heritage is paid tribute to by an annual festival when the town is transformed into a Dickensian wonderland for one week every August. Being a largely rural area, with outstanding natural beauty this region is known for its walking and fishing opportunities you have easy access to the magnificent Elan Valley and dams and the spectacular Brecon Beacons National Park. Alternatively, pay a visit to Rhayader with a red kite feeding station and Welsh Royal Crystal workshops; Builth Wells, with the Royal Welsh Showground, a venue to year-round events and another historical ‘spa’ town; Brecon, home of the annual August jazz festival, Brecon cathedral and castle, the Gaer Roman Fort, and The Regimental Museum of The Royal Welsh; the ‘book town’ of Hay-on-Wye, home to the famous festival; Llanwrtyd Wells, venue for the world-famous man vs horse race and bog snorkelling; and Knighton with the Offa’s Dyke Centre.
