Explore Things To Do In Mid Wales

If pure relaxation is your goal, you’ll savour the peace and tranquillity of a stay at Bechan Retreats. However, if you’re keen for a little more activity during your break, we’re happy to recommend some local sights to explore.

From our rural retreat, you can easily access nature reserves, rugged mountains and epic un-spoilt coastline. You’ll also find castles, stately homes and market towns less than an hour away from the farm.

If you would like to stay on site for a day, we can offer available for  pre-booking, a family and friends  fun activity that comes to you with out having to leave the farm. It is called ‘Beyond Breakout-Magic Portal’; a  magical game of solving clues and collecting crystals to save the world from the goblins!!

Wales tourist attractions

If you’re looking for days out in Wales, we have some great ideas. Take in panoramic views from Montgomery Castle’s ruined battlements or stroll around Gregynog Hall & Garden – 750 acres of estate land which is designated as a National Nature Reserve and Grade 1 listed gardens. We also love mediaeval Powis Castle & Garden – a jewel in the crown of the National Trust.

We can now offer a new fun outdoors  activity at Bechan retreats in collaboration with Laura and Jo from ‘Beyond Breakout’ . It is suitable for groups, friends and families and guaranteed fun.

Walking in Wales

From the Berwyn Mountains to Llyn Mawr Reserve, the natural scenery in this part of the world is quite wonderful! And, since all our accommodation is dog-friendly, you may well have brought a canine companion along for a walking holiday. Here are some trails and spots to explore during your stay:

  • Kerry Ridgeway

An ancient drovers route with fantastic views.

  • River Severn Path: Newtown to Abermule

Take a pleasant trail along the River Severn, starting in Newtown and following the meandering river through the countryside.

  • Montgomery Castle and Town Hill Circular

You’ll see atmospheric castle ruins as well as endless rolling hills on this trail through the beautiful Welsh countryside.

  •  Lake Vyrnwy

Hire a bike and ride around the picturesque lake (about 12 miles). Visit the sculpture park and RSPB Centre before enjoying a cake in one of the cafes.

  • Pistyll Rhaeadr waterfall

About an hour’s drive from Newtown, through some beautiful scenery, the stunning waterfall has a drop of 80 metres. You’ll need to wear good shoes!
