Builth Wells is set in the heart of Powys, Mid Wales. Builth (Welsh: Llanfair-ym-Muallt) had a brief period as a popular spa town during the 19th century, yet these days, visitors are more likely to visit the town for its association with Wales' premier farming and countryside event the Royal Welsh Agricultural Show.
However Builth Wells offers so much more than the Royal Welsh Show with wonderful landscapes and prestigious views of the surrounding countryside and the rivers Wye and Irfon. There is an eclectic mix of traditional shops some specialising in arts and crafts, including the Wye Arts centre, which also houses a cinema. Close by is the village of Cilmery where a Welsh Prince was killed in 1282 and is now home to a memorial to Prince Llywelyn the Last. ....
