Places to see in ( Knighton - UK )
Knighton is a small market town in Powys, Wales, on the River Teme and the English-Welsh border. Knighton railway station, as well as a small part of the town, is in Shropshire, England. The name derives from the Old English for A settlement of servants. This Anglo-Saxon settlement later became a Norman fortified town. Tref-y-clawdd, its Welsh name, means town on the dyke (i.e. Offa's Dyke) and was first recorded in 1262.
The name Knighton probably derives from the Old English words cniht and tūn meaning, respectively, ... a soldier, personal follower, young man, servant, thane, freeman and ... farm, settlement, homestead. This implies that the settlement was perhaps founded as the result of a grant of land to freemen.
Knighton is known for a well-preserved section of Offa's Dyke. Intriguingly, Wat's Dyke also runs parallel to Offa's Dyke and a few miles to the east. An earthwork that runs north-south along the English/Welsh border from Basingwerk near Holywell to Oswestry. The dykes aside, two Norman castles, constructed in the 12th century, are the oldest survivors in modern Knighton.
Knighton first prospered as a centre of the wool trade in the 15th century and was later an important point on the two drover routes from Montgomery to Hereford, and from London to Aberystwyth. Otherwise, Knighton was remote from the centres of commerce. It seemed likely that the railway revolution would also fail to reach the town; the 1840s and 1850s saw considerable railway building right across Great Britain but Radnorshire had a small population and little industry.
On the last Saturday in August the town holds its annual Carnival and Show, which attracts thousands of visitors to the town from all over the world. It features two parades, one at midday, and another at around 8 pm; these consist of various themed carnival floats and people dressed in fancy dress. The show takes place at the town's showground at Bryn-y-Castell; also home to Knighton Town F.C., Knighton Cricket Club and Knighton Hockey Club.
Knighton Community Centre is the towns largest venue and plays host to many events such as discos, performances, wrestling, bands, artists along with local clubs and organisations. Just outside Knighton and visible for many miles, is an observatory with a telescope, Europe's largest camera obscura and a planetarium.
Knighton is at the centre or the start of two National Trails; Glyndŵr's Way and Offa's Dyke Path. The Offa's Dyke Association has a visitors' centre in the town alongside the site of the ceremony at which John Hunt, Baron Hunt of Llanfair Waterdine inaugurated the long distance footpath in 1971.
Knighton is 137 miles (220 km) from the UK capital city, London; 86 miles (138 km) from the Welsh capital of Cardiff; and, 19 miles (31 km) from the county town, Llandrindod Wells. For the smaller part of Knighton that is in Shropshire, the district administrative centre of Ludlow is 16 miles (26 km) distant and the county town of Shrewsbury is 34 miles (55 km) away. The town is remote but is connected with the following towns and villages.

Our channel, Carl and Alex Fishing was launched in 2013. Our aim was to inspire people to go fishing, because at the time we did not have many friends who fished. Over the years we have filmed carp fishing, coarse fishing, fly fishing, bass fishing and even a bit of saltwater angling.

Join us once more as we investigate the Tivoli Venue in Buckley. The Tivoli Venue appeared in the ever popular Most Haunted television program. So now it’s your turn to walk in the footsteps of this most haunted team and become the paranormal investigators for the night. With a history spanning over a 100 years we are sure you will be in for a interesting night of paranormal activity and a ghost hunting experience. This venue is dark and can be cold in some of the now disused areas of this once busy theatre. We will start our evening in what is now a night club and we always like to start our events with a presentation of what you may feel see or hear during your investigation. We do advise you to wear layered clothing on all our venues but this one can be particular cold in the theatre space. We do ask you to wear flat shoes with non-slip soles, as you may well be walking around in the dark and on staircases with no lighting. Please don’t forget you’re a torch as the event does take place in rooms that can be dark but we do supply equipment on our events, but we welcome you to bring cameras and personal paranormal investigation equipment for your ghost hunt.
The Tivoli Venue Buckley Ghost Hunt
DeadLive nights do include workshops and vigils in some of the most haunted rooms in The Tivoli Venue so please do try and get involved as this will help the spirit communicate. DeadLive team will escort you around the venue with lights but we do encourage everyone to be involved on the vigils. Lights will be turned off in some areas and the night will continue with smaller groups where you will be using a range of paranormal equipment including dowsing rods, K2 meters, and table tipping for those who want to participate.
We will have a hub or rest area where tea/coffee is (provided) and to catch up with other group members. You are welcome to bring your own snacks.
Paranormal activity at events can never be guaranteed. However, the more positive energy we have between the groups the better and it will encourage a connection with the spirits of the venue. Please note alcohol is not permitted during the investigation. Parking can be found at the rear of the venue.
