Llangammarch Wells or simply Llangammarch is a village in the parish of Llangammarch, Brecknockshire, lying on the River Irfon.
It is the smallest of the four spa towns of mid-Wales, alongside Llandrindod Wells, Builth Wells and Llanwrtyd Wells. The spa was focused on a barium well, which is now closed, but the village is still popular with anglers.
The old village is centred on the parish church of St Cadmarch, which is a grade II* listed building. [1]
It benefits from a railway station on the Heart of Wales Line from Llanelli to Craven Arms. It lies on Route 43 of the National Cycle Network.
Llangamarch Wells Golf Club (now defunct) was founded in 1904. The club and course disappeared in the 1950s.[2]
