About Llandrindod Wells - show infohide info
Llandrindod Wells (known locally as Llandod) is a town in mid Wales. The town grew as a spa town in the 19th century. Llandrindod Wells has been inhabited since the 13th century, under the guardianship of the church of the Parish of Cefnllys, which still stands in the town. The springs in the town are thought to have been used even earlier, even the Roman's knew of the water and its healing properties. The town contained both sulphur and saline springs. It was only in the 18th century that access to the town became easier with the building of roads, and more housing as well as a hotel. Amenities such as facilities for balls and concerts, billiards, racing and shops were built in the town. With the railway arriving in the town, the public came to Llandrindod Wells in hitherto unseen numbers. People from all walks of life visited, and some hotels offered two tarriffs to cater to different classes of people. During World War II, Llandrindod Wells became less tourist orientated, and became home to evacuees and servicemen. After the war, tourism resumed in the town though never to the peaks experienced during Victorian times. The town retains many buildings of a Victorian era, from Llandod's days as a spa town. The railway is also retained, surviving the Beeching cuts of the 1960's. In the town today are some remnants of the towns past, including a grotto, the Grand Pavillion and Metropole hotel, which contains 120 rooms of 4 star standard. Llandrindod Wells lies on the Shrewsbury - Swansea line, and sees infrequent trains in each direction. Nearby towns to Llandrindod Wells include Rhayader, Builth Wells, Knighton, Hay-on-Wye, Brecon and Llandovery.
