An artist's studio, gallery and bookshop dedicated to wildlife

River Wood is a studio gallery and bookshop dedicated to wildlife and wild places. It is situated in Rhayader, the outdoor capital of Wales, close to the famous Elan Valley, a dark skies reserve and a wild landscape of lakes, woods and mountains.

The gallery shows the wildlife art of James Roberts who works in a unique style using ink and salt on paper. Original small and large paintings, prints, pamphlets and cards are available. The bookshop adjoining the gallery has a selection of nature and wildlife titles, new and secondhand.

The gallery is housed in a grade 2 listed building dating back to the 17th century, with many original features.

Visitors are welcome to see painting demonstrations in the upstairs studio space.

Current opening times are 11am – 4pm, Thursday, Friday and Saturday and by appointment.
