The spa towns of mid-Wales, strung out along the Heart of Wales rail line between Swansea and Shrewsbury, were once all obscure villages, but with the arrival of the great craze for spas in the early eighteenth century, anywhere with a decent supply of apparently healing water joined in on the act. Royalty and nobility spearheaded the fashion, but the arrival of the railways opened them to all. The westernmost, Llanwrtyd Wells , was a popular haunt of the Welsh middle classes, some of whom arrived over the bleak moors
by the Abergwesyn Pass , a narrow road still connecting the area to the Cambrian Coast. Far prettier - although considerably more twee and anglicized - is Llandrindod Wells to the north, whose spa is the only one of the four in any state of decent repair. In between, the larger town of Builth Wells was very much the spa of the Welsh working classes and there's no reason to stop other than to change buses. The fourth spa town, Llangammarch Wells, warrants even less attention.
