Our new page gives information on, and links to, places of interest
in and around Presteigne. We are extending our History
Page to cover the surrounding area, and this will be posted shortly
as we are still researching the information.
The Official Presteigne Web Site:
A good place to start, the site lists some places of interest, local
businesses, organisations and other local facts and figures. They provide
a 'Town
Trail' map (previewed above) which you can download directly
from here.
Wikipedia also
has a some interesting details, and due to the nature of the site it
is continually growing. They have a page on Radnorshire as
well, and is a recommended read.
Most of our historic research comes from the above pages, and two
other useful resources: The
Judge's Lodging, web site of the local Victorian Museum, and the
Powys Heritage On-Line Project,
a magnificent reference (in English and Welsh) with many old photographs.
The Presteigne Business
Directory is a new site which aims to provide free advertising
to help promote local businesses, and we are proud to support this
worthwhile venture.
Whilst the Hotel is in Powys in Wales, it is literally yards from
England and the counties of Herefordshire and Shropshire.
This information will continue to grow over the coming months. If
you have a recommendation for a site, or further information that you
feel you may be of interest to our visitors, please contact us via
our 'Webmaster'.
