Llanidloes is the first town on the River Severn; walk to the source of the river from the Hafren Forest. The surrounding Cambrian Mountains are perfect for stargazing with a number of locations designated Dark Sky Discovery sites.
Nearby Llanidloes is the Clywedog Reservoir and Dam, Glyndwr's Way National Trail, Hafren Forest and many stunning drives across the Cambrian Mountains.
From Welshpool, you can reach the Shropshire border in minutes or head west into the hills. Machynlleth sits at the southern end, where the Dyfi Valley meets the mountains. Lake Vyrnwy, a short drive from Llanfyllin, is surrounded by forest trails and is one of the quietest spots in Wales for birdwatching.
