- Half an hour from Powis Castle and 50 minutes from Barmouth beach
- Within an hour's drive of Snowdonia National Park and Shropshire Hills
A river runs through it… That’s the title of a 1994 film starring Brad Pitt, and it’s also one of the many fab things about Riverbend Caravan Park in Powys.
The Banwy, a shallow tributary of the Severn, flows through this peaceful Welsh park just outside the village of Llangadfan. You may not spot Brad Pitt on the riverbanks, but there are far better odds of encountering kingfishers and otters, and of catching grayling, brown trout or salmon… just bring along your fishing rod.
Smaller visitors can splash about in the stream and play Pooh Sticks from the nearby stone bridge; there’s also a playground for them to hurtle around on site, and another one in the garden of the pub a minute’s walk away. If you’re all up for long walks, the 135-mile Glyndwr’s Way passes by the village and links up with the even more mammoth Offa’s Dyke Path in Welshpool, half an hour’s drive away.
Back at base, the facilities are clean and well-maintained, with heated towel rails in the washrooms. Dogs are welcome at Riverbend Caravan Park, and also in the pub, which serves hot food and local ales.

Excellent site, easy access to some stunning areas of Wales.
From the manager...
Thank you very much for your lovely review, I am sorry about not allowing dogs off leads but as you are surrounded by open countryside and sheep , we feel this could be difficult when it comes to controlling your dog, plus not all dogs are friendly! We are very happy you enjoyed the Park and all the lovely areas, and you are right, we do take a lot of pride in it. We are very fortunate to be surrounded by beautiful countryside . Please come and see us again. |

Excellent site, what a hidden Gem. Highly Recommended
From the manager...
Hello again you lovely people, Thank you for your review and your wonderful comments. I couldn't agree with you more about the up-keep and i promise you work has finished on the Touring field, our mower was out of action for a while and we had a lot to catch up on, it was simply bad timing but...…had you come to see me, the work near your pitch would have ceased there and then. Looking forward to seeing you both really soon. |

Great site....definitely one we will return to.
From the manager...
Thank you Ann for your review. We are glad that you enjoyed your relaxing break and that you will return. At the time of your holiday most of the children had returned to school, we find that the majority of children love getting back to nature, paddling in the river or bug hunting with their parents, the play area is close by and plays a big part in the children's holiday, its nice for the parents to sit and watch their child having fun. Your 14 year old daughter, depending on what she enjoys , might have enjoyed the hustle and bustle of the beach which is a mere 50 minute car ride. Our park has a majority of semi retired and retired adults who enjoy the tranquility of Riverbend. |

Local attractions
One very fine way to visit Welshpool involves steaming in courtesy of the Welshpool and Llanfair Light Railway, from Llanfair Caereinion (15 minutes’ drive). Once in town, you can continue the historical theme with wanders round the Powysland Museum and tours of Powis Castle, a medieval fortress housing the treasures Robert Clive brought back from India; both are half an hour by car.
Treasures of different kind surround Gregynog Hall, also half an hour away: 750 acres of estate include Grade I-listed formal gardens and a nature reserve of ancient oak woodlands where you might see hares, wood warblers and horseshoe bats.
Mazes, myths, mine descents and craft workshops are on the menu at King Arthur’s Labyrinth in Corris, 45 minutes away, along with transport nostalgia at the steam railway museum.
If it’s a vintage seaside experience you’re seeking, beetle over to Barmouth (50 minutes) for wide sands, safe seas, donkey rides and candy floss, or for something stranger, make the hour and 10-minute trip to Portmeirion, a fantastical Italian fishing village with a scifi past.
Depending on which way you point yourself, an hour’s car journey can take you hiking round Lake Bala and rafting upon it, or rambling the high ridges of the Stiperstones National Nature Reserve in the Shropshire Hills.
