Self Catering in Mid Wales

Wales, despite being a relatively small country, has more than its fair share of attractions. Its mountains are among the highest in the UK and its coastlines are wild, rugged and spectacular. This is a country within a country that has a language, culture and appeal all its own. It is a land of breathtaking views with large swathes of the countryside remaining unchanged for centuries. Mid Wales is particularly accessible for a day trip, weekend break or even longer. It is the option to combine so many aspects of what makes a good holiday that makes Wales such a popular choice.

The heart of Wales is steeped in myth and legend, with ancient castles and Arthurian sites to be found in abundance. Attractions such as Powis Castle near Welshpool and the remains of Ceredigion and Crickhowell Castles make for interesting trips back in time for lovers of history and ancient architecture.

The Welsh coast has several picturesque resorts offering sandy beaches, quaint harbours and Victorian sea fronts such as the university town of Aberystwyth. Visitors to Wales often spend time indulging in sailing and enjoying family days at the seaside and there is a huge variety of accommodation options to help make the most of your time there.

The National Park of the Brecon Beacons covers around 500 square miles and is the location of Pen Y Fan peak, picturesque lakes and stunning waterfalls. This area draws climbers, anglers and sightseers all year round.

Climbers, botanists, geologists and nature lovers alike frequent the mid Wales region throughout the year. The Severn Way also draws many a rambler to its 210 miles of paths. These follow the River Severn from the mountains of mid Wales, through the Hafren Forest to Welshpool and onto the mudflats at its estuary.

Even Sir Charles Darwin enjoyed family holidays in Wales, often staying around the Tywyn and Barmouth area. Visitors to this region enjoy water sports, walking, horse riding, cycling and even gliding in this beautiful part of Britain.
