Timber-Framed Buildings

One of the most distinctive features of Llanidloes is its range of timber-framed buildings. You can find out more about these buildings by visiting a permanent exhibition which is held in the town's Old Market Hall. The exhibition is open during Easter, then from mid-May to the end of September every year. Alternatively take our photo tour written by Dr Charles Kightly and Caroll Davies.

The unusual name of this hostelry comes from the amalgamation of two neighbouring inns, the Royal Oak and the King's Head. The Royal Oak (nearer the Old Market Hall) has original timber framing, now extended as "painted-on" framing across the brick frontage of the former King's Head. The interior has beamed ceilings and inglenook.

  • These descriptions of Llanidloes' timber-framed buildings were written by Dr Charles Kightly and Caroll Davies.

  • An exhibition of the town's timber-framed buildings is being held at the Old Market Hall until the end of September 2004 and is open every day except Monday. Admission is free.
