Property, Houses and Flats for Sale in Rhayader, Powys

Rhayader is a busy and historic market town on the banks of the River Wye and has long been a major centre for farming. Rhaeadr Gwy is the Welsh name for Rhayader and means 'waterfall on the Wye'. The clock tower in the middle of Rhayader marked a vital staging post for 19th century carriages on the Aberystwyth to London road. Apart from agriculture, tourism is the most important industry locally, with walkers, cyclists and horse riders attracted by the trails and bridleways weaving through the exquisitely beautiful countryside, and the abundance of salmon, trout and otter in the River Wye.
