"Fantastic scenery and interesting towns" Powys by uglyscot

The scenery in this area is wonderful with hills, waterfalls, valleys and a patchwork of fields n various shades of green and brown. I might not have the peaks of Snowdonia , nor the Becon Beacons,but a gentler, sofer landscape. The narrow roads swoop up and down the hills, and towns and villages are few and far between.

From Merthyr Tidfil to Builth Wells you climb hills drive along the river, and lose yourself in an oasis of peace and tranquility. This route makes a most enjoyable day trip, and offers campers and hikers great opportunities..

Llandrindod Wells lake and dragon

The communitycontributed to a copper dragon situsted in the lake. The initials of those who contributed are engraved on the dragon's scales.
