Llanbister is a small village and community with a 2011 population of 382〔() 2011 Census Key Statistics Llanbister Community Council, retrieved 20 February 2014〕 in Powys, mid Wales, in the historic county of Radnorshire. ==Facilities== The village is not directly served by a railway station: the nearest is Llanbister Road railway station which is about 5 miles east of the village. It is served by a bus service (the T4 operated by Stagecoach Wales) which connects Cardiff to Newtown via Merthyr Tydfil, Brecon, Builth Wells and Llandrindod Wells. Llanbister is situated on the A483 main road from Newtown to Llandrindod Wells, at its junction with the B4356 road. It also lies next to the River Ithon which flows southward just west of the village. In the past, there was a police station in Llanbister, on the north west outskirts of the village, but this has since been sold off as private housing.〔(Zoopla property search ), retrieved 19 February 2014〕 Other facilities include a primary school, Llanbister C P School,〔(Llanbister School )〕 a children's play area〔(Llanbister Play Area ) Powys Play Areas, retrieved 20 February 2014〕 and a 200-person capacity community hall built in 1996 which has a stage and a 6.25m x 4m dance floor.〔(Llanbister Community Hall ) Powys Village and Community Halls〕 There used to be a Post Office in the centre of the village but it is no longer operating: it was proposed for closure in 2008.〔(Powys County Council Post Office Closure Impact Report April 2008 ), retrieved 20 February 2014〕 There is a Victorian pub and bed and breakfast hotel (The Lion Hotel) in the village and a caravan and camping site to the north west of the village, near the former police station. There is an area of common land to the east of the village, named Llanbister Common. In July 1991 an unlicensed free music festival was held there, which was not well received by the local population, so in summer 1992 manure was spread on the land to make a repeat less likely.〔(Roads closed as police seal off hippie festival ), Stephen Ward, The Independent, Monday 27 July 1992〕 There is evidence of potentially medieval ridge and furrow cultivation on Llanbister Common.〔(Cefn Llanbister, Cultivation Ridges ), National Monuments Record of Wales online database, retrieved 12 March 2014〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Llanbister」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
