One of Mid Wales’ hidden gems!

From above, you can really appreciate just how beautiful Llandrindod Wells Lake is. Originally created as a boating lake during the Victorian era when the town was a thriving spa resort, it remains one of the most picturesque spots in the area today.

Whether you're looking for a peaceful walk, a pit stop at the cafe or you’d like to hire a boat on the lake, there's something here for everyone.

An aerial view of Brecon Castle, or as many know it today, the Castle of Brecon Hotel. This is the oldest hotel in Wales!

The original Norman castle was built around 1093 by Bernard de Neufmarché following the Norman conquest of Brycheiniog. It was built as both a military stronghold and a symbol of Norman power in Wales. Over the centuries the castle saw battles, destruction, rebuilding, and eventually fell into ruin.

Today, parts of the original stonework still remain within the hotel grounds, quietly overlooking Brecon just as they have for more than 900 years.

The hotel itself incorporates sections of the historic site, including the grand hall, which is believed to stand on or near part of the original castle structure.

It’s amazing to think how many generations have stood in this same spot before us.

There’s something pretty special about this little funfair in Brecon — it’s not just rides and lights, it’s history going back hundreds of years.

What rolls into town each May is actually a chartered fair, meaning Brecon was officially granted the right to hold it by royal permission all the way back in the medieval period. Long before dodgems and candyfloss, close to this spot would’ve been packed with traders selling livestock, wool, tools, and food — with people travelling miles on foot or horseback to be here.

The fair dates weren’t random either. They followed the rhythm of medieval life, tied to seasons and feast days like May Day, Midsummer, and Michaelmas. The one we still have today — the May Fair — is basically the last surviving piece of that tradition.

So when you look at it from above, it’s more than just a funfair…

It’s a 700+ year-old event that’s evolved from sheep and market stalls to flashing lights and music — but it’s still bringing people together in the same place.

Funny how some things never really change.
