Local Attractions

 

Hidden Valley is located in the heart of rural mid Wales.  An area of unspoilt countryside with beautiful mountains, forests and lakes.  The local market towns are full of wonderfull places to eat and enjoy a drink as well as offering a wide range of attractions such as The Welshpool & Llanfair Light Railway which links the two towns traversing through spectacular scenery.  Whilst in Welshpool a visit to Powis Castle & Gardens, with one of the most fabulous gardens in Britain, is a must.

 

The Dingle Garden Centre and Derwen Garden Centre are both well known local attractions and will inspire anyone to get into the garden, whilst Coed-y-Dinas garden and country centre is a complete day out for all the family.

 

Mid Wales is also a walkers paradise with endless local footpaths such as Owain Glyndwr's Way and Offa's Dyke Path.  If you fancy something a bit more active there is also plenty to do with numerous golf courses and adventure centres or you could even try your hand at quad trekking at Border Quad Trekking.  For those who find this all a bit too energetic why not try a gentle cruise on the Montgomery Canal.

 

Spectacular Lake Vyrnwy is only a short drive away and ideal for a nice summer evenings walk around the lake through the innovative Sculpture Park.  The area is a renowned for its wildlife and is one of the country best places to see the magnificent red kite either at Mid Wales Falconry Centre, Gigrin Farm Feeding Station or even just whilst out for a walk!

 

This is just a short overview of the many activities available to you in the local area.  Whatever it is that you are interested we will be happy to advise you of the best places to go or simply call in at the tourist information centre in Welshpool.
