 BBC - Mid Wales Llanwrtyd - History of Llanwrtyd Wells
The then Vicar of St. David's church discovered the Wells at the Dol-Y-Coed Park, and seeing that a frog was alive and seemingly no worse for wear in the smelly waters, he decided to try the waters himself with the view of them helping his' scurvy'.
Thus the popularity of the Wells grew, together with the development of the town where buildings and recreational facilities were built to cater for the increasing numbers of visitors to the Wells.
I acknowledge the comments of Lee Davies but the regeneration of Llanwrtyd post the decline of the partaking of the Medicinal Waters should be attributed to those dedicated members of the community who in 1955 saw the possibility of utilising the local resources in the formation of the inaugural Pony Trekking Association in the UK.
