LLanwrtyd Wells Walks
This settlement in Powys is notable as the smallest town in Britain. There's some pleasant riverside trails, historic buildings and some beautiful rolling countryside to explore in the area.
This circular walk from the village heads west along the River Irfon to visit Pontnewydd bridge. It's a lovely peaceful place with fine views across the Irfon Valley to enjoy. Near the bridge you can also see the picturesque old parish church of St David's which sits in a lovely spot near the river.
To continue your walking in the area head a few miles north west to visit the beautiful Llyn Brianne. The expansive lake has some nice waterside cycling and walking trails. You can also access the glorious Tywi Valley and enjoy waterfalls and riverside trails along the Towy River from the northern end of the lake.

Pontnewydd bridge & church, There is little more here than this bridge and church. Strangely, the map names this area as Llanwrtyd, whilst Llanwrtyd Wells is over a mile to the southeast. This would not be a problem, except that all the signs in the area pointing to Llanwrtyd Wells omit the "Wells".
