Llandinam Bridge Built in 1846 to the design of the Montgomeryshire County Surveyor Thomas Penson, but very much in the style of a number of cast iron bridges by the famous engineer Thomas Telford.

The Lion Hotel, Llandinam I love the wall hoarding stating that they serve 'homely Montgomeryshire fayre' - an inducement to enter if ever one was needed.

Pubs should make the most of their regional produce, traditions and dishes pertaining to their home turf, however homely. How can homely ever be a bad thing?
