Pool Cottage Camping

How might you like to see the local scenery? At a slow pace on a local walk, perhaps, or on horseback from a local riding centre – or maybe at higher speed on the mountain bike trails at Caersws (10 minutes’ drive), which has an uplift to get you going on the downhill routes. If you’re big on bird-spotting or wildlife photography, you may like to book in a session at Falconry Experience Wales (15 minutes). You may also get some great shots on walks around the gardens and nature reserve at Gregynog Hall (10 minutes) or a ride on the Welshpool & Llanfair Light Railway (20 minutes), a heritage line running through some stunning scenery. For a spot of history, take a trip to the remnants of Dolforwyn Castle (15 minutes) or strike out to the rather grander Powis Castle and Garden (25 minutes), extensively remodelled over the centuries and with spectacular gardens to wander around.
