The Spaceguard Centre is located at the former Powys Observatory that overlooks the town of Knighton in mid-Wales. The Centre is easily accessible from the main A4113 that passes through Knighton. It is signed from the main road just east of the town. There is a regular train service to Knighton, but it is a long walk from the station! A taxi is a better solution.
If you are using GPS or online maps with our postcode, ignore them for the last couple of miles - follow the signs from the A4113 main road!
We have two Google Maps to help you find us. The first is centred on the Spaceguard Centre, zoom out to see where it is in relation to Knighton (upper left). The second map is centred on Knighton itself. On this map, the Spaceguard Centre is located below and slightly right of where Llanshay Lane is marked.
