 Rural tranquillity is our 'speciality'! |

 Our nearest towns are Knighton and Newtown. In Knighton you'll find the Offa's Dyke Heritage Centre and the Powys Observatory, both well worth a visit. The road to Newtown is spectacular, taking you past the source of the River Teme, and as you drive over the top you will more than likely see Welsh mountain ponies on the hill. For a lovely way to explore the surrounding villages and countryside you could try touring the Churches of St Michael. Don't leave without a visit to the spectacular Abbeycwmhir Hall, one of Wales' finest examples of Victorian Gothic Revival Architecture. |

 The area is steeped in history, myth and legend. This being border country, there are several castle ruins in the area. Just down the valley you will find the mound of Knucklas Castle. Slightly further afield are the spectacular ruins of Clun Castle and Montgomery Castle. As well as these, there is of course the famous Powys Castle just outside Welshpool. The Shropshire towns of Clun and Bishops Castle are fascinating to visit, where several festivals a year and lots of interesting galleries and craft shops await you. |

 This is a fabulous area to explore by bike. There are lots of quiet country lanes which are fun to cycle and an extensive network of foot and bridle paths if you enjoy off-road cycling.
For a really unique way to experience the area then why not try a 'Dragon Drive' in the spectacular Radnor Forest. You can choose from an hour to a full day with picnics and pub trips.
