Get away from it all....but not completely

Cwm Deildre is secluded but still only about 4 miles from Llanidloes, a traditional town, where you will still find butchers, bakers and greengrocers. The local street market is on Saturday. However, there is a supermarket and the Spar shop stays open untill 11pm. There is a variety of restaurants and take aways and at least six pubs. Llanidloes also has a musical instrument shop, a shoe shop, ladies and gents outfitters, gift shops and galleries. There is a great deal going on including Jazz evenings in The Red Lion on Wednesdays and Folk evenings on Thursdays in The Mount. For full details please see the Llanidloes town website below.
