1 Irfon Crescent set in a most convenient location, beside the A483, with a delightful South-easterly aspect and within ¼-mile of amenities and Dolwen Park which has a play area and rugby pitch is only 100 yards away. Llanwrtyd Wells claims to be the smallest town in the UK, although by 2011 its population had grown to 850. The town was developed in the 19th century as a Victorian Spa resort, with a livestock market and Woollen Mill (both now closed), set on the banks of the River Irfon on the main road between Builth Wells and Llandovery, and serviced by the Heart of Wales Railway (Shrewsbury to Swansea). It has a convenience store, Primary School, Doctors Surgery, three pubs, restaurant, Victoria Hall, Garage, Church and Chapel. The town is still a very active tourist resort hosting the World Famous “Man v Horse Marathon”, World Bog Snorkelling Championship, Beer Festival, Walking Festival, etc. The historic small market towns of Llandovery and Builth Wells are 11 and 13 miles distant, and the County Town of Llandrindod Wells is 18 miles (via Newbridge-on-Wye B4358). Together they offer a wider range of amenities to include a Tesco Superstore, Aldi and Co-op supermarkets, hospitals, leisure centres, two 18-hole golf courses, indoor and outdoor bowls, river and lake fishing. This area is renowned for its outstanding natural beauty and tranquillity, ideal for outdoor pursuits. The larger towns of Brecon and Carmarthen are roughly 24 and 37 miles, with Swansea City and the West Wales coast within a 1½-hour drive and Cardiff is about a 1¾-hour ( Dependent of traffic conditions).
