Attractions in Powys
|
|
Andrew Logan Museum of Sculpture
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. |
|
Centre for Alternative Technology
This pioneering eco-centre is packed full of hands-on displays and working examples of sustainable living, renewable energy, environmentally responsible building, energy conservation, organic growing and composting. |
|
Gilfach Nature Reserve
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. |

Glansevern Hall
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. |

Llanidloes Museum
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. |

Newtown Textile Museum
The building that the Textile Museum is situated in is a fine example of a typical early 19th century weaving shop. |

The South Wales Borderers Museum
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). |
|
Tretower Court and Castle
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. |
|
Welshpool and Llanfair Light Railway
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. |
