Well-maintained pub site on the border between England and Wales
In Buttington on the River Severn; four miles from Powis Castle
Sunday roasts; dogs welcome, with riverside and country walks nearby

Whether it’s castle spotting, hikes along Offa's Dyke or exploring natural beauty spots like the Shropshire Hills and Snowdonia National Park, the Green Dragon Inn will get you right on track. This warm and welcoming pub site in Powys is in the hamlet of Buttington on the river Severn, a few minutes' drive from the English border and it’s a fab place to top up your batteries before you get out… Meals at the rural country pub are sorted by a varied pub menu, with hot food served between 10am and 8pm from Monday to Saturday, and only roast dinners served between 12pm and 5pm on Sundays. Green Dragon Inn has a range of mixed hardstanding and grass pitches to choose from, plus access to a washing-up area, baby changing facilities and a well-maintained bathroom block. This is a dog-friendly site close to lots of riverside and country walks, with visit-worthy local vistas including Admiral Rodney’s Pillar, Whitehouse Nature Reserve and Severn Farm Pond Nature Reserve (all a few minutes' drive from base). The Offa's Dyke trail is a few minutes' walk from the site, running along the river to the north and inland through the fields to the south. Getting to the site should be nicely straightforward as it's just off the A478 – the trade-off for this is that there is a certain amount of road noise on the pitches.

Local attractions

What horizons to set your sights on first? Well, for those of you who have historical sites high up on your holiday to-do list, there are a few places to get started and Powis Castle (10 minutes' drive) is one of the closest out of the lot. This huge Welsh castle has some splendid garden terraces and walks in the grounds are a real treat… For less walking and more chugging about, steam train trips go from the Welshpool and Llanfair Railway Preservation Company (10 minutes). To continue with your historic streak, The Wharf Powysland Museum (10 minutes) spills the beans on Montgomeryshire’s local history, while for ruins, Montgomery Castle (15 minutes) and the Mitchell's Fold Stone Circle (20 minutes) are some of your options. Of course, activities-wise, walking is particularly fine around this area, especially in the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (20 minutes) and Snowdonia National Park (40 minutes) but the kids in your group could cheer on the pig races or meet the alpacas at Park Hall’s adventure farm (25 minutes). Meanwhile, the adults might prefer to go for a laidback game of golf at the Brookland Hall Golf Club (10 minutes).
