Machynlleth is a small town that's guaranteed to have more sheep than inhabitants. It's quite peaceful here, but the village still has a lot to offer. In the centre, beautiful buildings, cosy restaurants and interesting, alternative shops are waiting for you.

The area is inspiring. Just outside the town is the small summer house where Robert Plant and Jimmy Page are said to have written some songs for their band Led Zeppelin.

There are plenty of hotels and a campsite nearby.

A prominent landmark in the centre of Machynlleth, the Clock Tower was built in 1874 to mark the coming of age of the eldest son of the Fifth Marquess of Londonderry. It marks the southern termination of the Snowdonia Way long-distance trail. For supplies, there are plenty of places to stock up in the town.
