Just over an hour’s drive from Church Stretton is Bannau Brycheiniog National Park in Wales. Snag a spacious bell tent with access to an open-air outdoor kitchen and a nearby river for fishing and swimming at all hours, retreat to a remote countryside campsite with grass pitches and communal pit toilets, or discover wooden camping pods with furnished interiors, TVs, and patios finished with a hot tub—the options are endless. Then, head to the southwest corner of the park known as Waterfall Country and step behind thundering falls, tackle rock climbing routes around Llangorse Lake, or explore the extensive underground network of caves.
