Machynlleth & Banwy

About

Machynlleth serves as a market town for the surrounding Dyfi Valley, with a historical role as a former Welsh parliamentary seat. The Owain Glyndŵr Institute occupies a medieval building where the last native Prince of Wales held a parliament in 1404. The area is defined by the rivers Dyfi and Dulas, with the Centre for Alternative Technology located just outside the town, focusing on sustainable living solutions.

To the east, the Banwy Valley is a quieter, rural area of farmland and dispersed settlements like Llanfair Caereinion. The landscape is characterised by rolling hills and the River Banwy, a tributary of the larger River Vyrnwy. This is a sparsely populated part of Powys, where agriculture and forestry are primary land uses, and the Cambrian Mountains form a backdrop to the north.
