The call of red kites echoing overhead tells you you're somewhere special before you've even unpacked — this is mid-Wales raptor country, and these chalets sit right beneath their flight paths.

The Kites Nest offers glamping chalets and camping pods, suited to couples after a rural bolt-hole or small families wanting comfort without the full cottage commitment. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, so walkers with four-legged companions are well catered for. You're in the heart of Wales here — proper hill country, with the Cambrians within reach and valleys threaded with quiet lanes perfect for exploring by bike or on foot.

Facilities aren't specified in detail, so it's worth checking what's provided when you book. Campfires may be allowed depending on conditions — ask on arrival. Expect a peaceful, off-grid feel rather than a buzzy campsite atmosphere; this is a place where the main evening entertainment is watching kites wheel against the sunset and listening to the silence settle in. If you're after solitude and big skies, you'll find it here.

The Miners' Trail

Follows the footsteps of 19th-century lead miners through old workings and dramatic upland scenery near Llanidloes. Expect moderate inclines with some steep sections around mining sites, plus uneven ground where shafts and adits remain—not suitable for buggies or very young children. Dogs welcome on leads (essential near old mine workings for safety). A fascinating industrial heritage walk that brings Mid Wales mining history to life with remnants of engine houses, tramways and spoil heaps dotti

Ridgetop Trail

Follows the ridgeline with steady climbs and open moorland sections, offering expansive views across mid-Wales hills. Exposed terrain means it's better suited to older children and confident walkers rather than buggies or toddlers. Dogs welcome but keep them close during lambing season (spring). The dramatic ridge walking and big-sky scenery make this a rewarding route for those happy with moderate uphill stretches and changeable weather.

Cambrian Way

Expect serious ascents, remote moorland, and challenging navigation across 470km of predominantly steep, rugged ground.
