Known for its fantastic community spirit and friendliness, this traditional Welsh town launched the local phrase, 'Shining like Llanfair' when the sun hits its wealth of slate rooftops. Welshpool to Llanfair Light Railway operates from this quaint, small town which features a beautiful stretch of water under the central Banwy Bridge. The arboretum on the banks of the Banwy contains 25 species of British trees.
