Mid Wales Lakes and Mountains

Look no further if you are in search of green hills and mountains, fresh air and relaxation.

This introduces you to a beautiful part of Wales, a refreshing region in which you can savour the atmosphere of traditional market

towns, go walking along ancient pathways, enjoy the pleasures of touring peaceful roads, and at the end of the day return to the comfort of a country house hotel, cottage, cosy inn or farmhouse.

The surroundings in the central heartlands of Wales are a revelation. The scenery here is something special - rolling countryside all the way from the wide, open spaces of the Brecon Beacons National Park in the south to the wild beauty of the Berwyn Mountains in the north.

Between those two mountain ranges there's much to discover - the lakes of the Elan Valley , Clywedog and Lake Vyrnwy, the rolling, timeless landscapes along the border, the many rivers and mountain streams, the characterful country towns and villages, and a rich history which embraces everything from mysterious prehistoric monuments to Victorian spa towns. This landscape provides a backcloth for all kinds of activities.

Walkers sing the praises of Mid Wales' exhilarating high country and cool, green forests. But that's by no means all. Golf, fishing, watersports, pony trekking, birdwatching, canal cruising, cycling, mountain biking, hand gliding…you name it, you'll find it in the Great Outdoors.

Mid Wales is always in the mood to welcome you, whatever time of year you choose to come. The countryside changes character with the seasons, inviting exploration 365 days of the year.

This is a land steeped in history and culture, a place where time has stood still. Here you’ll escape the crowds and be able to recharge your batteries.
Revel in the clear country air, log fires and honest to goodness farmhouse fare.

Mid Wales is a beautiful region of green hills and vales, lakes, mountains and abundant wildlife – dragonflies, badgers and even red kite.

Park you’ll also discover an impressive range of activities, including caving, climbing, cycling and sailing plus numerous attractions.
