Llandrindrod Wells is one of Wales' four spa towns and lies on a plateau, high above the River Ithon. Although it doesn't have quite as picturesque a setting as Llanwrtyd Wells it is perhaps the prettiest of the Wells towns.
The town was most popular as a spa town in the Victorian era but people were taking the local mineral waters back in Roman times and there are remains of the Roman Fort Castell Collen just outside the town. They have recently devised a heritage trail around the town, which provides details of Llandrindrod Wells' history.

2009 marks the 250th anniversary of Scottish poet Robert Burns' birth. Burns was a poet and a lyricist and is widely regarded as the national poet of Scotland.
The Burns Supper was started a few years after his death by a group of his friends; they held the supper to honour and remember Burns. The tradition caught on and the ritual of Burns Supper is now held all around the world.
His life and work will be celebrated throughout the year at many Burns-related events.
