A few words about Llanwrtyd Wells (United Kingdom – Wales) and our twinning which has had a beautiful history (45 years of friendship and 25 years of official twinning), and is gaining strength with our new association this year:
- the "Can Do Community" spirit: many great events happen in Llanwrtyd Wells thanks to volunteers,
- hiraeth, a feeling of "homeland" and ideal home ("Hiraeth: a very Welsh feeling"),
- Welsh humour: quirky and good-natured, we'll tell you anecdotes: the "Man versus Horse" race, "bog snorkelling", what happened to the bear…),
- the authentic charm of its typical shops and pubs,
- breathtaking varied landscapes (mountains, valleys, forests and rivers – paradise for hikers, cyclists, horse riders and bird lovers, including the red kite…),
- culture and heritage in and around Llanwrtyd Wells (Pont-ar-Ithon, Cilmeri, Llanddewi Abergwesyn, mines, picturesque churches, Strata Florida Cistercian abbey…),
- fun activities in Wales (Children's Playbarn - Llangorse Multi Activity Centre - King Arthur's Labyrinth, Cantref Adventure Farm…).
😊 😊 Let's joyfully share this beautiful human adventure together 😊 😊!
