These are all places that we've visited and really recommend if you are visiting the area. They often involve tea rooms!
Land of Lost Content - Craven Arms - ShropshirePure nostalgia at only £5 a head. Great for a wet afternoon but can feel a little claustrophobic. Good cake!
Bryan's Ground - Stapleton near Presteigne - Herefordshire
Acres of fabulous gardens in 'rooms'.
Westonbury Mill - Herefordshire with its giant, wooden, water-driven cuckoo clock
The Whimble - gardens, nursery and cafe - Radnorshire
Cwmystwyth Lead Mines - industrial archaeology - Cereidigion
Hafod - lost mansion - Ceridigion
Croft Ambrey and Croft Castle - Herefordshire
Iron-age fort
National Trust house, gardens and tea rooms
Powys Castle - Montgomeryshire
National Trust house, gardens and tea rooms
Elan Valley Dams - Radnorshire Source of Birmingham's water and an incredible feat of Victorian engineering. A stair-case of dams and the water is gravity-fed all the way to Brum. You can follow the pipe line for a lot of the route. (And it goes through Knighton.)
Just don't read Cambell's Kingdom before you visit!
The Knighton valve house on the slope of the Frydd
Centre for Alternative Technology - Machynlleth, Montgomeryshire
