Henllan Caravan Park

Whether it’s fishing on the river Banwy or boarding the local steam railway, your holiday in Mid Wales will be off to a flying start at Henllan Caravan Park… this family-friendly site first opened in the 1960s and it has grown into a very gorgeous spot to set down on the banks of the river Banwy, with fishing available in the river and a kids’ play area set up for those guests who have brought the whole family along.

The clubhouse here serves food and drink, so you should have plenty of energy for mountain walks in the local area. There’s a golf course 10 minutes’ drive away for any keen golfers and the surrounding Powys landscape has many opportunities for things like mountain biking, swimming, climbing and hiking for all the adventurous types.

Shops, pubs and that sort of thing can be tracked down in Welshpool, 10 minutes’ drive away. This historic town has some gorgeous Georgian buildings and the Montgomery Canal for a peaceful stroll or you could look in on the National Trust’s Powis Castle and Garden (20 minutes) while you’re around there. For more nostalgic activities, the Welshpool & Llanfair Light Railway is five minutes’ drive from the site.

Back on the riverside site, there’s a large shower block ready for you to freshen up. The pitches themselves are all well-maintained and flat with great views, so you should be rather comfy.
