The Pines Caravan Park

The Elan Valley part of Powys is known for its lovely landscapes and its many scenic walks/rides around its trails and bridleways. It's also a wildlife and nature haven with many rare plants and with frequent red kite sightings: make sure of seeing them with a visit to the Red Kite Feeding Centre at Rhayader's Gigrin Farm, where hundreds of kites flock to be fed every day. Canoeing and fishing are both easily available locally on the Elan Valley reservoirs and rivers (the River Wye runs round the back of The Pines Caravan Park). The Elan Valley Visitor Centre has info on fishing the valley dams and wild trout lakes, and can also issue fishing permits. Also recommended in the area is the town of Llandrindod Wells with the National Cycle Collection of Wales in its National Cycle Museum; an 18-hole golf course; bowling greens and the Albert Hall Theatre. Day trippers can reach Hay-on-Wye within 29 miles, Devil's Bridge in 24 and Aberystwyth in 36.
