Mid Wales and the area around
Llandinam.
Prepared by Ian Shirley, The Lion Hotel, Llandinam, Powys
Llandinam has been awarded the title of best kept
village in Wales, Powys and Montgomeryshire on more than one occasion and
as you pass through it is easy to see why. Neat and colourful gardens
line the A470 which runs parallel to the River Severn.
The steep slopes of Pwllan and the Suagr loaf provide the
perfect backdrop.

Black and white timber framed houses crowd the crooked lane that climbs the church bank and the beautiful village hall, built of brick and timber houses a billiard room, ladies parlour, reading room and oak panelled main hall.
