  • Well-maintained family-run park on the Tanat river
  • Kayaking, sailing, windsurfing and huge mountain bike park nearby
  • Fishing for trout and grayling right from the site
For a quiet rural hol on the banks of the River Tanat, pick yourself a pitch at Parc Farm Caravan Park, five minutes' stroll from Penybontfawr village on the road from Llanfyllin to Bala. You'll be close to heaps of active options around here, such as kayaking, windsurfing, boating, horse riding, abseiling, archery and game shooting at Lake Vyrnwy, and there's a huge mountain biking park three miles from base. This is a wonderfully well-maintained park in the Tanat Valley, with the river of the same name meandering right through the site and giving anglers the chance to haul themselves a few fine specimens of grayling or – if they're wily enough – trout to fry up on their evening barbecues. The play area and small football pitch over the river are splendid spots for a bit of running about well away from the accommodation area, which means that if you're a grownup indulging in a spot of R&R around your tourer, you're really not very likely to be disturbed by flying footballs or the like. A fine local pub and a shop for general groceries, newspapers and your morning milk can be found in the village of Penybontfawr, an easy five-minute stroll away. Nearby Llanfyllin and Llanrhaeadr both have a butchers shop, a chemist, cash machines and a couple of mini markets, so you've got most essentials sorted within very easy reach. You can also grab some grub at the pubs, hotels and restaurants around the area, many of which are kid- and dog-friendly.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked The pitch location was perfect, overlooking the river and the countryside and was peaceful.

Disliked It’s the first time we’ve stayed on a grass pitch and it was muddy due to a lot of rain fall, I prefer a gravel/hard standing pitch. The shower/toilet block wasn’t sufficient enough. There was only one shower cubicle and and there was no where to get dry, no seat to sit on to get dry, your just stood in the puddle of water from the shower. Also, there was no where to wash the dishes, these are small things but would make a big difference to our comfort.

From the manager: Thanks for the constructive review, we're glad you liked the pitch location and the views, sorry about the rain, we've had a mixed start to the season weather wise. Apologies the shower wasn't as you'd want it also. We are actually about to open some new dish washing facilities, sorry they weren't ready for when you visited but they will be if ever you returned. All the best.

Excellent site with great owners and scenery

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Spent a lot of time here as a child the site is still just as wonderful as I remember 25 years ago the scenery is beautiful and the site is immaculate.
The site has been in the same family for over 50 years and sian and nick are a credit to all that parc farm stands for they have done a amazing job of maintaining the sites original charm.
The site is a five minute walk from Pen-y-Bont-Fawr village that has a pub, post office and children's park.
The facilities on site are very well kept.
There is a small children's park onsite. It is a site to get away from it all and relax in the countryside

Disliked Nothing

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Very friendly owners, very clean facilities and very clean site in a beautiful and peaceful surrounding. Good size riverside pitches with views of the nearby mountains and local wildlife. A haven for many birds including heron and red kites. Great location for a short drive to the local lakes Llyn Tegid (Bala) and Lake Vyrnwy. We'll be back.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked My wife and I had a very enjoyable time at this site it’s one of the best places we have visited. Friendly owners and facilities are very clean, only 12 grass pitches for touring caravans and all with electric hook ups but all are level and backing up to the gently flowing river, if you’re a fisherman or fisherwoman it’s great just out of the door and you can settle down to a nice peaceful day of fishing ,assuming the children from the static caravan site are not running around uncontrollably making a lot of noise. But a very enjoyable site. We will be going back next year.

Disliked We would have preferred a hard pitch, and if the children from the static caravan park did not run around uncontrollably playing around the touring caravans it would be great.
That is the only dislike.

Local attractions

If fishing's your thing, you'll be particularly pleased to learn that you can fly fish for trout and grayling right from the park into the River Tanat which, handily, winds its way through the property. Parc Farm is also in a splendid spot for hill walking, gentle ambling, cycling, mountain biking, birdwatching, golfing or wandering around the area's bounty of historic sites – just ask your genial hosts for their recommendations, one of which will surely be Pistyll Rhaeadr – Britain's tallest single-drop waterfall and a rather dreamy departure point for yet more walking and cycling trails through the foothills of the Berwyn Mountains. Mountain bikers can head over to the bike track around three miles away, where rapid red, rocky black and steep pro trails network 120 acres of private woodland. For even more active days out, take your togs along to Lake Vyrnwy, around 20 minutes' drive away, for canoeing, kayaking, sailing and windsurfing. Next to the lake, the pumphouse, sculpture trail, dam and museum take visitors on a pleasant culture trip, while the series of trails that network the Dyfnant Forest also provide plenty of options for land-based activities; horseback hacks, carriage drives, long walks and leisurely bike rides are all popular in these parts, and abseiling and archery are available too. If you fancy trying your hand at clay and game shooting among a ginormous 24,000-acre estate, head over to the lake's local hotel. Walk or take a narrowboat trip over the UNESCO-listed Pontcysyllte Aqueduct – Britain's longest and highest aqueduct – or take a trip on Welshpool's narrow gauge heritage railway for 50-minute rides westwards to Llanfair Caereinion via Castle Caereinion.
