Llanelwedd is a small village in Powys, Wales, sitting beside Builth Wells and the River Wye in scenic mid-Wales. It’s surrounded by rolling farmland and pleasant countryside, making it representative of rural life in this part of the country.
The village is most widely known for the Royal Welsh Showground, a long-established venue that brings major agricultural shows and events to the area and forms an important part of the local economy and social calendar. Away from show week, Llanelwedd has the quieter rhythms of a farming community, with small businesses and tourism drawn by the nearby countryside and river.
