Mid Wales

Mid Wales and the Brecon Beacons holds a hidden treasure of perfect countryside unspoilt by development. The lush valleys of Britain`s most glorious rivers, the Severn, the Wye and the Usk, cut through its rolling hills.

Explore the area at your own pace - enjoy the splendour of steam travel, walk one of the many trails or take a boat along the canals and rivers. The choice is yours.

Visit border towns with Georgian architecture and black and white half timbered houses, wander around the wonderful shops in the book town of Hay, famous for its world renowned Literary Festival each May and meander down Brecon`s alleys. There are Victorian Spa towns too, with even the smallest of places holding festivals and events and home to unique shops selling antiques and crafts.

You`ll get good food and a cheerful welcome whether you choose to stay in a manor house, hotel, guest house, inn or get closer to nature and camp.

With so much to discover in this magical area, you truly will be `spoilt for choice`.
