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

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. Photo
