Builth Wells, Market town in Powys, Wales
Located at the meeting point of the Wye and Irfon rivers, Builth Wells sits in a valley surrounded by agricultural lands and green hills.
The name originated from Old Welsh words 'bu' for ox and 'gellt' for leas, with 'Wells' added in the 1800s when its springs gained attention.
The Royal Welsh Show in July brings 245,000 visitors to this Welsh town for agricultural exhibitions, livestock competitions, and regional crafts displays.
The Builth Road railway station connects the town via the Heart of Wales Line, while the A483 and A470 roads provide road access.
A local cattle variant, the Builth Smokey Face, developed here as a specialized breed of Hereford cattle adapted to regional conditions.
