A huge swimming pool and a weekly cattle market at the recreation centre are further benefits. On the outskirts of the town, the Red Kite Feeding Station is a fantastic site that should not be missed.

The Elan Valley has many different walking and cycling paths (you can rent bicycles in Rhayader), as well as a visitor centre with a café and a playground for kids. With its astounding array of public nature reserves, this region is referred to as the Wildlife Centre of Wales. Pony trekking is another activity offered nearby.
