  2. Wonderful Walking

    If you love walking, this area is tailor made for you -with an extensive network of rights of way and vast open hills to wander. Ten minutes walk from the front door is Offa’s Dyke National Trail. This 177 mile route along the old English-Welsh border draws walkers from all over the world. We are lucky enough to have the main Offa’s Dyke Centre located only a ten-minute drive away, serving as a hub for many circular walks. Additionally there are footpaths directly from Wild Meadow and there is an ordinance survey map in the cottage for you to use.
    For mountain bikers, East Radnorshire has the highest density of bridleways & legal green lanes in Britain. Here you can travel across miles of open hill, moorland & single tracks with the buzzards & red kites soaring above. Bucknell woods (7 miles away) has a downhill track. We have maps & routes available to help you explore Nash Woods, just a mile down the road.


  3. Two Towns

    Two popular towns, both approximately 30 minutes away are Hay-on-Wye and Ludlow.
    Hay-on-Wye is a place to immerse yourself in the enchanting atmosphere of this world-renowned book town, home to the celebrated Hay Literature Festival. Enjoy the labyrinth of book and vintage shops followed by a paddle at the riverside beach at The Warren.
    Ludlow is a pituresque medival market down - a haven for culinary and castle enthusiasts! Enjoy a riverside wander and visit on a Monday, Wednesday, Friday or Saturday to catch the traditional open air markets in the square.

  4. A Valley of Dams

    Our favourite day trip is Elan Valley. Constructed a century ago to provide vital clean water to Birmingham, the Elan Valley boasts dams, reservoirs, ancient woodlands, wild meadows and a 73 mile aqueduct. Take a break at the visitor centre and cafe where maps can be gathered and bikes can be hired.
