Rhayader

The town is 20 miles (32 km) from the source of the River Wye on Plynlimon, the highest point of the Cambrian Mountains, and is located 13 miles (21 km) north of Builth Wells and 30 miles (48 km) east of Aberystwyth.

The population in 2011 was 2,088, with 55% of the community having some form of Welsh identity. 

Rhayader holds the record for the lowest-ever temperature recorded in Wales, -23.3 °C on the 21st. January 1940 at a time when fuel for heating would have been in short supply because of WWII.

The Rhayader War Memorial Clock Tower

The Rhayader War Memorial Clock Tower stands at the main crossroads of the town. It was designed by the architect B. Lloyd in 1924, and built on the site of the old Market Hall.

The clock tower features inscribed panels which record the names of the fallen from both the Great War and WWII. The structure was Grade II listed on the 31st. July 1995.
