A site of considerable charm and quiet beauty. It is peacefully situated in the centre of rural Mid Wales on the banks of the River Wye with glorious views of the surrounding hills. For those who love bird watching, a wide variety of species including the Red Kite can be seen in the area. For walkers and cyclists this is an unspoilt and quiet part of Wales with many way-marked trails and secluded country lanes. The Wye Valley walk and the national cycle route 8 are both within ¾m of the site. Anglers can enjoy peace and tranquillity with fishing available locally as well as lakes and reservoirs nearby. Llandrindod Wells holds its Victorian Festival each August. The  Royal Welsh Agricultural Show takes place at Builth Wells each July. There are many excellent restaurants and pubs nearby.  Market Day Friday.

A real find this, a popular little site (formerly a railway station) in the dreamy North Herefordshire countryside, with daffodils on the bank at the entrance and apple blossom in the orchard close by. You are in the area of the famous black and white villages - there's a trail you can follow to see some of them, but start at Weobley only four miles away, right off the beaten track and an almost perfect example of an old English village with the church at its heart and 14th to 16th century timber-framed cottages lining its streets. As you are so close to the River Wye, you should explore it a little - perhaps with a visit to Symonds Yat  which offers canoeing and fishing. Golfing facilities can also be found nearby.

A small, peaceful oasis of a site (former railway station) on the edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park: ideal if you want a walking and bird watching holiday. The National Park's Mountain Centre is well-equipped with information, leaflets and walks as well as an exhibition and a small cafe with an outside terrace from which there's a breathtaking view. If you want to shop, Brecon is a busy little market town (market on Tuesday and Friday) with a very good craft fair once a month for all kinds of Welsh crafts. There's also a Jazz Festival in mid-August.
