Llanidloes hotels, hotels in Llanidloes Powys, and hotels in WALES DIRECTORY

Llanidloes sits on the banks of the River Severn in Powys Mid Wales. To the west there is nothing but hills, moors, valleys, lakes and the mountain of Plynlimon (Pumlumon) at 752m. Which is just fantastic if you like walking, climbing, mountain biking, bird spotting, horse riding, fishing, sailing and many more outdoor activities. Yes Llanidloes is the perfect base for all these activities. The Llyn Clywedog Reservoir is a centre for fishing, sailing, or just walking the forest trails.

If just talking about all this activity tires you out then a gentle stroll around the centre of this old market town of Llanidloes might revive you should you have an interest in historic buildings. There are a number of such buildings, many being timber framed. Probably the highlight of Llanidloes' architecture is however the Old Market Hall. This is the most distinctive building in the town and is the only surviving timber-framed market hall in Wales. The present Hall was built at some time between 1612 and 1622. But some of the timbers used in its construction are older than the building, dating from the mid-16th century. Another fine building, and indeed one from which the town takes it's name is St Idloes Church. The church, dedicated to St Idloes, an early 7th Century saint, is almost certain to have been an early medieval foundation. The church can be found in a quiet square upon high ground overlooking the River Severn. more information about Llanidloes
