The scent of wildflowers drifts across the meadow, and somewhere beyond the hedge, a buzzard calls over the Powys hills.

This is a spot for campers who prefer grass underfoot and a lighter footprint — tents, campervans, and caravans all welcome, though the 'ecology centre' in the name hints at the vibe. It suits anyone drawn to Mid Wales for its quieter corners: walkers tackling the Cambrian ridges, families wanting space to roam, couples after a proper digital detour. The Arts element suggests workshops or creative happenings may drift through, so expect a community-minded feel rather than regimented rows.

Facilities are straightforward — toilets and showers onsite — and campfires may be possible, though you'll need to ask on arrival. The atmosphere leans eco-conscious and unhurried, the kind of place where fellow campers nod hello and evenings settle gently. Don't arrive expecting bells and whistles; come for fresh air, birdsong, and the particular stillness Mid Wales does so well.

Follows the infant River Severn for 72 miles from its remote Cambrian Mountains source down to Shrewsbury, traversing moorland, farmland and riverside meadows.

Wye Valley Walk

Follows the River Wye for 136 miles from Chepstow to Plynlimon, mixing woodland, riverside paths, and open hillsides with varied terrain from flat valley sections to steep climbs around Symonds Yat and Tintern. Not suitable for buggies due to uneven ground, stiles, and gradients, though families can tackle shorter, easier sections near Monmouth or Ross-on-Wye. Dogs welcome but keep on leads near livestock in farming sections. Worth doing for constantly changing scenery, historical sites includin
