Llandidloes

In the easygoing town of Llandidloes life used to revolve around the market place, the extremely attractive half-timbered heart of the town that dates from the early 17th century.

The town has always had a slightly non-conformist attitude and was the scene of dissent in 1839 when the town's flannel weavers rose up and violence ensued during the attempts to quell their political voice.
