Description
Protest graffiti cut in bracken on hillside overlooking Built Wells and Royal Welsh Showground. Letters 'BACH' (meaning 'small' in Welsh) stand for 'Builth Against Closing Hospitals', a local campaign. The sign was created in 2007 by farmer Rob Healy, with each letter being 100m tall and 40m wide. The graffiti was an echo of a similar sign cut into the hillside to commemorate the 2004 centenary of the Royal Welsh Showground.
