Builth Wells is a pretty market town in the heart of Mid Wales. It sits where the River Wye and the River Irfon meet. You can see the old stone bridge with its six grand arches. The town has a long history tied to farming and cattle. You can walk the paths in Groe Park to see very tall redwood trees. Nearby, the earth banks of an old Norman castle look over the streets. A large mural tells the story of the last Prince of Wales. The town has a busy high street with many local shops. The air is fresh and the hills are green. It is a quiet spot with a friendly feel. Life here follows the slow flow of the river.
