Builth Wells is a pretty market town in the heart of Mid Wales. Situated at the confluence of two rivers — the Irfon and the Wye — it boasts history, charm, plus plenty of shops, pubs, restaurants and other attractions. The town’s history stretches back to the post-Roman period. However, it was in the in the 11th and 12th centuries during the Norman invasion of Wales that town began to take shape.
