The nearest ones to you John appear to be:
Rhayader, Powys, LD6 5ER (19 miles away?)
Llandrindod Wells, Powys, Wales LD1 5PL (23 miles away?).
Overall, there are quite a lot of Sheds in Wales, but in pockets here and there. For example, there are five in close proximity at Llandudno, Colwyn Bay, Abergele, Rhyl and Prestatyn. As in East Yorks, all small coastal towns. Maybe the sort of places that older people go to retire?
I can well see the appeal for men who are perhaps widowed in later life and don't have much social contact. As an example, without naming the actual Shed, here's a write-up of one:
Quote:
Open every Monday & Tuesday from 10.00 - 15.00, We have a fully fitted (woodworking) workshop, poly-tunnel, new allotments, raised beds, Community Garden, meeting, Games and Arts/Crafts rooms, IT facilities, Accessible kitchen and toilets. Mens' Meals are provided each day at a cost of just 50p for a cooked meal!
End quote.
So, a broad range of activities, a fully equipped woodworking workshop and no more 'out of the freezer/boil in the bag' ready meals for lunch either!
