The town of Presteigne is in an area of Powys known as the Randor Boarders.  This area of outstanding natural beauty captivates vistors and has helped Presteigne to be listed by Country Life Magazine as one of the top ten places to live in Britain.

George Bernard Shaw said of the the Radnorshire area: "No man should be in government of this land who does not spend three months of every year in country such as this"

In the town centre you'll find The Judge's Lodgings, a museum dedicated to 'upstairs downstairs' of Victorian life.
