Barland is a small village situated in the historic county of Radnorshire, Wales. It is located about 6 miles southeast of the market town of Knighton and is surrounded by picturesque rolling hills and farmland. The village, with a population of around 200, is known for its tranquil and idyllic setting, making it a popular destination for nature lovers and those seeking a peaceful retreat.

The main focal point of Barland is its charming 12th-century church, dedicated to St. Michael, which stands proudly at the heart of the village. The church is a fine example of Norman architecture, featuring a beautiful tower and intricate stone carvings. It holds regular services and is also a significant historical landmark in the area.

Despite its small size, Barland boasts a vibrant community spirit, evident in the various local events and activities that take place throughout the year. The village hall serves as a hub for social gatherings, offering a range of clubs and societies catering to different interests. These include gardening clubs, book clubs, and art groups, providing opportunities for residents to socialize and pursue their hobbies.

In terms of amenities, Barland has a well-stocked village shop, providing essential groceries and everyday items. However, for a wider range of services, residents often rely on nearby towns such as Knighton or Llandrindod Wells, which offer a more comprehensive selection of shops, restaurants, and healthcare facilities.

Overall, Barland offers a peaceful and close-knit community atmosphere, combined with stunning natural surroundings, making it an attractive place to live or visit for those seeking a rural retreat.

St Peter, Evenjobb Expensive building designed by T.H. Wyatt and built between 1866 and 1870. 'Solid and ugly' says the Powys Pevsner - perhaps a little harshly.
