It’s a small Welsh market town with tea rooms, bars, and restaurants. It also has a few quirky shops selling local wares and other trinkets.
Swimming pool and weekly cattle market are an additional perk of the leisure centre. You can’t miss the Red Kite Feeding Station, which is located just outside town. To begin with, Rhayader is located in the Elan Valley and Claerwen Valley, where the Elan and Claerwen Valley dams and reservoirs can be found. The Elan Valley has a visitor centre with a café and a children’s play area, as well as a number of walking and cycling trails (cycles may be rented in Rhayader).
