Quiet Days Together

The Elan Valley is one of those places that feels like it belongs to you when you visit. The chain of dams and reservoirs west of Rhayader sits in a steep valley with no through traffic and very few people. Walking the estate roads and paths together, with nothing but the sound of water and skylarks overhead, is as good a couples' day out as you will find anywhere.

Country pubs across Mid Wales serve real ales and honest food. The towns of Aberaeron, Llanidloes and Machynlleth all have independent restaurants, cafes and delis worth seeking out. An evening meal overlooking the harbour at Aberaeron or in a coaching inn in Brecon makes for a good end to the day.

Dark sky stargazing from a cottage doorstep, a long walk on an empty beach, a steam train through a wooded valley: the things that make Mid Wales good for couples are the same things that make it good full stop. There is just less queuing and more space to enjoy them.
