Rhayader Town Clock

Highlight • Historical Site

Situated on the River Wye, Rhayader has many beautiful landscapes to explore nearby.

A small market town, Rhayader has long been a natural stopping point for travellers – from the Romans who had a camp in the Elan Valley, to the monks who travelled between the abbeys of Strata Florida and Abbeycwmhir and drovers who were heading to market with their livestock.

Today Rhayader offers a choice of pubs and cafes for a welcome refreshment stop.

The Old Swan Tearooms

Highlight • Cafe

Breakfast here is a work of art. There are also a couple of tables and a bike rack right outside the cafe. Cake looks good too although I didn’t have room for it.
