Attractions near Llanyre
Gilfach Nature Reserve (8 Miles)*
Situated in a beautiful setting at the mouth of the Marteg Valley in the Cambrian Mountains of mid-Wales, Gilfach is locally unique because of its wide variety of habitats: high moorland to enclosed meadow, oak woodland to rocky upland river.
Llanidloes Museum (14 Miles)*
The Local History Gallery depicts the development of Llanidloes during the last three centuries. Topics include the history of the Old Market Hall, civic events in the town as well as both World Wars.
Hergest Croft Gardens (15 Miles)*
Hergest Croft Gardens lie in the heart of the Welsh Marches with stunning views towards the Black Mountains.
Strata Florida Abbey (18 Miles)*
The austere Cistercian monks were renowned for seeking out wild and lonely places in which to practice their religion. None of their Welsh abbeys preserve that spirit of remoteness more strongly than serene Strata Florida.
Newtown Textile Museum (18 Miles)*
The building that the Textile Museum is situated in is a fine example of a typical early 19th century weaving shop.
Kinnersley Castle (20 Miles)*
Kinnersley Castle was one of the many Marches castles sited by the Normans along the Welsh border. As seen today it is mainly the remodelled Elizabethan manor house of the Vaughan family.
The South Wales Borderers Museum (21 Miles)*
When you come to Brecon be sure to reserve at least one hour to see the treasures of the 'Old 24th', South Wales Borderers, the Monmouthshire Regiment and, more recently The Royal Regiment of Wales (24th/41st Foot).
Moccas Court (22 Miles)*
Built by Anthony Keck in 1775 overlooking the River Wye, decoration including the round room and oval stair by Robert Adam.
Walcot Hall (23 Miles)*
Walcot Hall dates back to Tudor times, the original Elizabethan facade being gabled. The gardens cover over 30 acres, including one of the finest Arboretums in Britain.
Andrew Logan Museum of Sculpture (25 Miles)*
Andrew Logan's work is of popular poetry and metropolitan glamour. It is an art which resounds with the exuberant excess of a Busby Berkeley musical. ALMS is currently the only museum in the country dedicated to a living artist.
Glansevern Hall (25 Miles)*
Glansevern Hall was built in Greek Revival style 200 years ago. It is romantically positioned on the River Severn and the gardens extend over 18 acres. There is a gentle walk from the gardens to the river edge.
Tretower Court and Castle (26 Miles)*
A visit to Tretower Court and Castle reveals two historic sites for the price of one. In open country against the backdrop of the Brecon Beacons stands a stark, round tower and its companion piece - a handsome stone manor house.
Stokesay Castle (26 Miles)*
This is one of England's best preserved fortified manor houses. Stokesay's Great Hall is unchanged since the days of baronial feasts.
Welshpool and Llanfair Light Railway (27 Miles)*
The railway was opened in 1903 to link the rural communities to the market town of Welshpool. The gauge of 2 ft 6 inches allowed for tight curves and steep gradients following the contours of the countryside.
Ludlow Racecourse (28 Miles)*
Tradition has it that in the fourteenth century soldiers from Ludlow Castle came here not only to practice archery but also to match their horses.
