Llandrindod Wellness Route
To support people in reaching their own Llandrindod Wellness goals, we’ve created a simple 1 kilometer route around the Lake – the Llandrindod Wellness Route. The circular route around the Lake is flat, accessible and takes in beautiful views across the lake and the surrounding woodland and scenery. The Route has been designated as the first Llandrindod Wellness Route in order to encourage people to get out and be more active, more often. There is also a Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/llandrindodwellness/ where you can post pictures of your progress and encourage others to start their journey to Llandrindod Wellness.

Heritage Trail
This was a building improvement grant programme that was operated within the centre of Llandrindod Wells between 2004-09 to help restore and maintain the architectural heritage of the town through high quality repair and reinstatement work. The objective of the THI was to contribute to the economic regeneration and sustainability of the town, as well as restoring and maintaining the architectural and historic character of the buildings. The programme was funded by the Heritage Lottery, Cadw, Powys County Council, Welsh Assembly Government and European Objective-2 funding. As a result of the THI, a number of buildings have been restored to their former glory, with several being brought back from the brink and a number of key architectural features that had been lost over time being successfully re-instated.
