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, ignore it for the last couple of miles - follow the signs!
