Indoor Bowling Centre

A bowling alley in Llandrindod Wells might not sound like the highlight of a Mid Wales holiday, but if you're stuck with drizzly weather - which you will be - it's a proper lifesaver. Radnor Bowls is the indoor bowling centre serving the area, and it's where locals go when the hills get too sodden to walk.

It's straightforward stuff: lanes, pins, shoes that don't quite fit your feet, and enough competitive spirit among the regulars to make an afternoon oddly entertaining. The kind of place where you'll spot families trying to keep their kids entertained on a wet Tuesday, pensioners in a league match, and couples on a rainy date night.

Unfortunately, details about opening hours and admission fees aren't readily available on their website, so you'll need to ring ahead before you head into town from Disserth Caravan & Camping Park or any of the other nearby sites. It's not the sort of attraction that'll occupy you for a full day - maybe two hours if you're genuinely into it - but as a filler activity between proper outdoor walking, it works.

The real point is this: if you're touring the Radnor Valley and the weather turns, you won't find much indoors in Llandrindod Wells apart from this. It beats sitting in a café drinking your fourth coffee. Ring ahead, check their times, and factor it in as a rainy-day backup rather than a planned highlight.
