I had a lovely stay at Maes Heddwch - the shepherd's hut is beautifully cosy, with everything you need and extras too, and I loved the views out over the fields and the surrounding countryside - including some very friendly sheep and cows. Seeing the full moon over the valley was amazing! Ruth was very welcoming and helpful and I would love to come back again. Thank you x

2 nights at Capel Cathy
We had the most wonderful stay at this beautiful cabin and honestly couldn’t recommend it enough! 🌿✨
It’s the perfect little escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and such a lovely place to switch off, slow down and feel completely connected to nature. The cabin itself was beautiful and cosy, and the outdoor bath overlooking the grounds was such a special touch. Sitting there listening to the owls and all the wildlife around us was so peaceful.
The star gazing was probably one of our favourite parts of the whole stay — I genuinely don’t think I’ve ever seen a sky so full of stars!
The couple who run the cabin were absolutely lovely and couldn’t have been more attentive or helpful. Even when we hadn’t received the manual (which, as it turns out, was sitting happily in my junk folder 🤣), they were so patient and helpful with everything we needed. They even kindly let us pick some apples from their apple tree, which was such a lovely little extra!
The wood fire was another gorgeous addition and made the cabin feel so cosy in the evenings. And the bed… honestly, I think that was the best night’s sleep I’ve had in a long time!
The neighbouring town was also a delight and had a lot of cute shops to browse!
It really is such a special place and the perfect retreat if you’re looking to escape, reconnect with nature and properly relax. We absolutely loved our stay and would definitely recommend it. We’re already hoping to come back again in the future! 🤍🌿✨

A huge site with lots of space between pitches and gorgeous views, we requested the woodlands pitch but someone else had already booked way ahead of us in advance so we settled for the upper field pitch where we had the whole field to ourselves the first night. There are portaloos dotted around and they are very new and clean. You can hike to the Stiperstones directly from this site, just be prepared to cross plenty of fields and bush country and remember the route you took or you may wound up lost on the way back. Fire bowl and wood were provided upon request. The site has long sloping land but its not really an issue. We parked our car right next to our pitch which thankfully helps alot due to the vastness of the land, you can easily drive a 2 wheel drive vehicle around with no issues. Thank you so much, we would definitely recommend this site and would love to return at some point.

This campsite is an absolute gem. Tucked alongside rolling green hills with a gentle river running right through the grounds, it feels peaceful and secluded from the moment you arrive. A quaint train track runs nearby, which adds a lovely, nostalgic touch to the landscape rather than disturbing the quiet.
The facilities are spotless and clearly well maintained, making the whole stay completely hassle free. Our favorite part was the evenings: sitting by an open fire roasting marshmallows with an unobstructed, crystal-clear view of the stars overhead. It was the perfect escape, and we cannot wait to come back for a longer stay. Highly recommended!

Where to go
Montgomery Canal & River Severn
The partially navigable Montgomery Canal threads between Frankton Junction in England and Newtown in Wales, running right through Welshpool. Meandering almost parallel is the River Severn, and the sleepy countryside in between makes the waterway a very pleasant place to walk or cycle along the towpath or go narrowboating. This level, lush terrain has excellent camping possibilities, too.
Kerry Ridgeway
Trundling along a ravishing ridgetop with Wales on one side and England on the other, this ancient route follows the route cattle drovers once travelled in centuries gone by. It spans 15 miles between Kerry in Wales, 13 miles south of Welshpool, and Bishop’s Castle in England. Camping options include comely sites set in rolling fields, as well as glamping pods.
Stiperstones National Nature Reserve
A knobbly backbone of ridge crested by rock formations spread-eagled across Shropshire, this flank of the Shropshire Hills AONB is glorious hill country. Long-distance footpaths like the Cross-Britain Way pass through, and there are the compelling legacies of prehistoric settlements and 19th-century mining to uncover. Good camping can be found on the western edge of the NNR.
Dyfnant Forest & Lake Vyrnwy
Just outside the Snowdonia (Eyri) National Park boundary, the Dyfnant Forest area begins 18 miles northwest of Welshpool. You can hike there on the Glyndŵr's Way long-distance path, which bisects the forest, though the whole area promises stunning wild countryside, switching between big spreads of conifer and steep, stark hills. The forest has a remarkably high concentration of beautifully located campsites, too, both traditional and forms of glamping such as pre-pitched safari tents.
When to go
Weather in Welshpool is warmer than average for Wales, with the June to August period averaging around 68°F (20°C) while simultaneously scoring some of the lowest precipitation, under 2.36 inches (60mm) monthly. Be warned, though: it can still get mighty wet at any time! This is not a busy part of the country, so summer visits work well. July’s Country Music Festival, held at Powis Castle, is a vibrant time to come.
