A studio gallery and bookshop dedicated to wildlife

PLEASE NOTE: RIVER WOOD GALLERY IS NOW CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. We apologise for the inconvenience. 

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  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.
