This popular location in nearby Llanidloes is not just home to a national collection of quilts, it also offers regular craft fairs and courses across the year. 

Located just outside Caersws this is a fascinating art and craft gallery that also offers courses and workshops in a range of arts.

Lead and silver mining was a major industry locally, and the remains of mines can be seen on the hillsides.  Silver Mountain tells the story of mining and the miners, with opportunites to go underground into the old mine.

The other pages in this part of the website include details of other attractions, including heritage railways, dark skies locations, nature reserves and a whole lot more.  If you'd like more information about specific attractions, just let us know.
