Your guide to Builth Wells, Wales from Cheap Hotels Ltd.
Builth Wells is a town located in the county of Powys, Wales. You can easily find this town when you take the A470. The town originally grew up around Builth Castle, which was constructed in the reign of King Edward 1 in the 13th century.

The townspeople left money in return for the food in the same location, which is why this river is called Money River today.
