About Rhayader

Rhayader sits where the rivers Wye and Elan meet in mid-Wales, serving as the gateway to the famous Elan Valley reservoirs. The A470 passes nearby, with the A44 running directly through town from Kington to Aberystwyth, whilst the B4518 offers a scenic route to Llanidloes. The town's clock tower stands precisely where four roads converge in the centre, its quarter-hourly chimes echoing across the valley.
