A little history
Builth Wells was one of the Welsh spa towns that attracted Victorian visitors to its sulphur springs. The Royal Welsh Showground at Llanelwedd hosts the Royal Welsh Show — the largest agricultural show in Europe, drawing 240,000 visitors over four days every July. The River Wye flows through the town.
The Royal Welsh Show in July is extraordinary — the biggest agricultural show in Europe on the town's doorstep. The Wye Valley walking from Builth is beautiful. The town is quiet and genuine for 51 weeks of the year.
