The V8 Mid-Wales Tour 2012 over the long weekend Friday
31st August to Monday 3rd September 2012 has a full programme
of scenic drives and visits to places of interest around Llandrindod
Wells including
driving to Rhayader along the Elan valley, with its stone dams,
to Devil's Bridge.
After morning coffee on Saturday there's a choice: spend a peaceful
afternoon in the valley around the bridges and possibly a visit
to the kite feeding centre, a trip to Aberystwyth on the Vale
of Rheidol steam train, or a visit to the Llywernog silver-lead
mine, currently being revamped as the "Silver Mountain
Experience". The return trip for all is along the local
village roads to the hotel.
On the other weekend day we shall head further north via Abbeycwmhir
and Machynlleth for the coffee stop at the Craft Centre Corris.
Some may prefer to spend the day in the Corris area, where there
are several attractions including the "Sheep- poo paper"
factory. Others may opt for the sea at Tywyn or Barmouth both
of which have opportunities for another steam train ride. Those
who would like a slightly longer road run can visit Harlech
castle.
On Monday we shall be travelling East to Presteigne and visit
the The Judges' lodgings. This building includes: the living
quarters of the Judge and his servants, the courthouse and the
cells. Presteigne is a border town, cross the The River Lugg
and you are in England. This is the end of the V8 Mid-Wales
Tour, but if you have time to spare, the council have produced
an interesting walking tour.
