Ghosthunters and urban explorers have told by police to stay away from an abandoned psychiatric hospital in Powys.
The former Mid Wales Hospital in Talgarth closed in 1999 and has been left in a poor disrepair.
Dyfed-Powys Police said it “strongly discourages” people from visiting the site which poses a “serious risk” to health and safety.

"We strongly discourage any persons from visiting this site as it is privately owned, and an offence of civil trespass could be committed.
