*************

Llanwrtyd Wells (Welsh: Llanwrtyd) is a small town in the parish of Llanwrtyd in Powys, mid Wales, lying on the River Irfon.

With a population of 601 people (United Kingdom Census 2001), it claims to be the smallest town in Britain,^{[citation needed]} although Fordwich in Kent has a smaller population. 34% have some knowledge of Welsh.

Llanwrtyd Wells grew as a spa town, based around the Ffynnon Ddrewllyd spring, which still exists. The town was also known as an eisteddfod site, and is the site of both the World Bog Snorkelling Championships and the annual Man versus Horse Marathon, as well as many other annual events.

The Abernant Lake Hotel^[2] was built on the site of an old farm, to cater for the many visitors, keen to take the spa waters. The hotel grounds include a 5 acres (2.0 ha) lake that was created in 1903 by damming an ox-bow of the River Irfon. During the Second World War,the hotel was home to Bromsgrove School evacuated from Worcestershire and between 1943 and 1945, to the Czechoslovak State School for Refugee Children. It remained a hotel until 2007 when it became home to a multi-activity centre for school groups and families.

Built in 1852, the Cambrian Mill factory was the largest woollen mill in the Llanidloes area, employing over 250 workers at its peak.^[3] Reduced to an empty shell by a fire in November 1889, the rebuilt factory remains in continuous operation since it was rebuilt in 1902.^[4] It is one of very few woollen mills still operating in Wales. According to the mill's website, visitors can experience ""700 years of weaving history.""
