Llanwrtyd Wells in Mid Wales is the smallest town in Britain and is ideal for exploring the wild and broken plateau of Central Wales. The area is very popular with mountain bikers, walkers and bird watchers. Astride the river Irfon, Llanwrtyd Wells is tucked in the valley between the Cambrian Mountains and the Mynydd Epynt. Its fame, once built on the mineral springs, now ranges across cycling, mountain biking, bird-watching, pony trekking, hill walking, fishing, rallying, Welsh Language and Natural History Studies. The chief of many attractions is the variety of breath-taking scenery around the town, rolling hills and rugged mountains, spectacular passes and gentle valleys, open pastures and thick forest, trickling streams and gushing falls.

Some world famous events held arround Llanwrtyd Wells

    Bog Snorkling - Now infamous worldwide and attracting competitors from around the globe, this mad-cap event was the brainchild of a couple of locals whilst downing the best of Welsh Ale!!

     
  Man v Horse - The Man v Horse Marathon began in June 1980 following a chat over a pint in the Neuadd Arms Hotel. The then Landlord, Gordon Green overheard to men discussing the relative merits of men and horses. The enterprising Gordon, never one to miss an opportunity to promote Llanwrtyd Wells and improve business at his hotel, decided to put it to the test. And so began Green Events and its first and longest standing, now Internationally acclaimed event, The Man versus Horse Marathon.
