The Dolau Inn sits in proper hill country, where the quiet of mid-Wales rolls out in every direction and the only real noise comes from the wind in the hedgerows and the occasional bleat from the next field over.

This is a simple, traditional spot for tenters and campervans — the kind of place that appeals to walkers heading into the hills, couples after a proper pub meal and a starry night, or anyone who prefers their camping stripped back and unpretentious. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, so worth asking when you book if you're bringing four legs along. It's mid-Wales at its unshowy best: green, hilly, utterly peaceful, and close enough to serious walking country if that's your thing.

Facilities aren't listed in detail, so expect the basics rather than bells and whistles. Campfires may be allowed depending on conditions — check when you arrive. The pub's right there, which is half the point of staying. It's a no-fuss, old-school sort of camp — quiet, grounded, and honest.

Glyndŵr's Way

Traces 135 miles through mid-Wales hill country, linking Knighton to Welshpool via Machynlleth. Expect sustained climbs over moorland and through ancient oak woodlands, with significant elevation changes throughout. Not suitable for buggies or young children due to length, remoteness and challenging terrain. Dogs welcome but must be controlled around livestock. Rewards committed walkers with sweeping views across Powys, glimpses of Cadair Idris, and deep immersion in Welsh history and wilderness

Gregynog long circular walk

Meanders through the historic Gregynog Estate's woodlands and parkland with gentle to moderate inclines across mixed terrain including grass paths and forest tracks. Suitable for older children but not buggies due to uneven ground and potential muddy sections. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. Worth it for the blend of Victorian landscaped gardens, ancient woodland, and valley views, plus the chance to spot red kites circling overhead. Allow 2-3 hours for this longer circuit.

Gregynog medium circular walk

Winds through the Gregynog Estate's magnificent parkland and woodlands, featuring mostly gentle terrain with some moderate slopes. The well-maintained paths suit families with older children (7+), though buggies will struggle on forest sections and uneven ground. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. Worth it for the stunning rhododendron groves, Victorian arboretum, and glimpses of the Grade I listed hall—plus you're walking the same trails that inspired countless artists and composers at this
