Clyro

It is said that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was a family friend and visitor, with obvious consequences.

This part of Wales, including the villages of Clyro, Capel-y-ffin, Llowes, Glasbury, Llanigon, Painscastle, and the town of Hay-on-Wye, as well as Clifford and Whitney-on-Wye in neighbouring Herefordshire, is sometimes referred to as "Kilvert Country".

He moved to Clyro near Hay-on-Wye in 1989 but returned to Devizes in 1995 and has lived there since then.
