Rhayader (Rhaeadr Gwy in Welsh) is a historic market town located in mid-Wales, situated at the upper reaches of the River Wye. Known as the first town on the River Wye, it has a rich history dating back to the 12th century when a castle was built to guard the river crossing. The town's name derives from the Welsh words meaning "waterfall on the Wye," referring to the nearby waterfalls.
Rhayader played a significant role in the drovers' routes of Wales, where cattle and sheep were driven from Welsh farms to English markets. Today, the town serves as a gateway to the Elan Valley, known for its Victorian dams and reservoirs. The local cultural heritage is preserved through various community events and traditional Welsh customs. The town maintains its Welsh character while serving as a hub for outdoor activities and nature appreciation in the surrounding countryside.
