Once the capital of Wales, Machynlleth is now the British capital of alternative technology. Machynlleth is a small market town, its most prominent feature is the 80 feet tall clocktower in the centre of town. Machynlleth is remote from motorways in the pastoral countryside of Mid Wales, with a thriving culture in Welsh and English. It has a population of few more than 2,000, stands halfway between hills and estuary by the River Dyfi's flood-plain. It is famous for the rebellious leader Owain Glyndwr's crowning as prince of a secessionist in 1404 and for his holding of a parliament here. The Glyndwr trail goes through Machynlleth. The Dyfi valley lies in the centre of Wales with access by road or rail. Machynlleth is the main town lying just south of the Snowdonia National Park. The Centre for Alternative Technology is the biggest visitor attraction in the area. The town has gained a reputation for excellent mountain bike trails. Also see Machynlleth.
