MACHYNLLETH
Machynlleth is a thriving historic town in Mid Wales. It has a regular rail service and buses from North to South of the country pass through. Access to the major motorways is approx. 1 hour away which means that Machynlleth has not been spoiled by too much traffic and has maintained it’s charm.
The focal point of the town is the clock which was gift, in 1874, of the people of the town to celebrate the coming of age of Viscount Castlereagh, the eldest son of the Marquess of Londonderry.
Other notable buildings include the Parliament House where the first Welsh parliament was established by Owain Glyndwr at the beginning of the 15th century.
Royal House, built in the 1300s, is so called as it believed that Charles 1st stayed there in 1643. This building now houses the Tourist Information Centre.
There are several good pubs and restaurants in the area and we will be happy to recommend them.
