In the small central market place stands Llandovery Town Hall (1857–1858) by the architect Richard Kyke Penson. This has a two-storey courtroom with open arcades in an Italianate style, over an open market. Behind are police cells with iron grilles and entry to the old courtroom (now a library) under a clock tower. Many use Llandovery as a touring base for the western Brecon Beacons National Park immediately to the south of the town. For others it is a stop on the way to Pembrokeshire and West Wales. Motorcyclists congregate, particularly at weekends, at the West End Cafe in Broad Street, part of the A40.
