Mid Wales

Garreg Ddu reservoir

Mid Wales hasn’t got large cities.  Instead there are small spa towns like Llandrindod Wells, waterfalls, hills, lakes and sheep. 

The lakes are mostly man made reservoirs, built to supply water to English towns, but they’re still pretty impressive.  As a result, the region is often referred to as Wales’ own lake district.

We’ve also got some impressive waterfalls.  The highest one being Pistyll Rhaeadr which is higher than Niagara Falls. 

The seaside University town of Aberystwyth is home to our National Library.  A visit here can help you trace your Welsh ancestry.  Or you could just flick through the thousands of books.

See the Visit Wales website for more info on visiting the region.  Or the Welsh Government’s central Wales pages for local information.
