( O S Grid Ref: So 185 729 Explorer 214 ) Llugwy Farm is set in a peaceful country location in a small valley, near the source of the River Lugg. It is approached over a short tarmac road with a concrete Irish Ford Bridge, and it continues as a rough green lane for about 1⁄2-mile up to the open hill, which is excellent riding country. The only access to Llugwy is via a 5-bar wooden gate to the farmyard, that leads to the farm buildings and Log Cabin, and a lane runs to the East to the converted Barn and fields. The Cabin has a lovely Southerly aspect at the rear, and there is a veranda and balcony to take full advantage of the views all year around. There is a field between Llugwy and the Council road, so it has excellent privacy. The Railway Station at Llanbister Road is 11⁄2 miles (Shrewsbury to Swansea Line), there are village pubs at Llangunllo and Llanbister (2.2 and 5.2 miles), the latter also has a Primary School. The County Town of Llandrindod Wells is 15 miles and has a range of shops (Tesco Superstore, Aldi Supermarket), Secondary School, Hospital, Leisure Centre, Golf Club, indoor an outdoor bowls, active U3A, Theatre, etc. The border towns of Knighton and Presteigne are 9 and 10 miles distant. This area is renowned for its outstanding natural beauty and tranquillity, yet is less than an hour’s drive from the English marcher towns of Leominster and Ludlow, and Hereford City (Dependent on traffic conditions).
