Attractions near Welshpool and Llanfair Light Railway
Glansevern Hall (6 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.
Andrew Logan Museum of Sculpture (6 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.
Powysland Museum (7 Miles)*
The groundfloor displays illustrate the history and development of life in Montgomeryshire from the earliest prehistoric settlers to the 20th century population.
