TimeScape Rhayader

CARAD is proud to present our new heritage and arts attraction, ‘TimeScape Rhayader / Amserwedd Rhaeadr Gwy’, where we explore the unique landscapes, folklore and beliefs which shaped our communities, in a welcoming and fascinating all weather experience.

This brilliant attraction has something for all ages. Included within lots of fascinating installations is a wonderfully atmospheric dragon’s cave (which is also accessible through a crawl-through tunnel) featuring our GIANT copper dragon sculpture, Queen Belrenin!

A host of other new installations explore the area’s fascinating stories, from our community today as well as those who lived here before us.

TimeScape Rhayader is open on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays 10.30am-4pm (we recommend you allow 1 hour to enjoy the full experience); entry is £6 for adults, and 1p for children.

TimeScape Rhayader is staffed by volunteers so if you’re coming from a distance please do check with us first to ensure we are open.

For more information, please call 07788 663172 (Thurs – Sat)
