Talgarth sits at the foot of the Black Mountains. This town is a hub for local hill farmers. My top tip is to visit the old watermill. You can watch the giant wheel turn for free. The smell of fresh bread fills the streets. A short walk leads to a steep waterfall in the woods. This is the Pwll-y-wrach nature reserve. You can see red kites above the green hills. The air is fresh and smells of the wild uplands. This place offers a true look at life in Mid Wales. The open hills are ideal for walking with dogs welcome on the paths. It is a quiet spot for a rural break.
