Static Caravans for Sale in Mid Wales

The Mountainous Landscape

Powys shares a border along the Wye valley with Shropshire and Herefordshire. It has high mountains aplenty, including the Black Hills and Brecon Beacons – for the most part, it’s a landscape of green fields, lakes, forests and small market towns, all noticeably tranquil and sparsely populated.

Sleepy Towns and Villages

Newtown and Welshpool are the largest towns in the north of the county – Welshpool offers Powis Castle, as well as the Welshpool and Llanfair Light Railway. To the west is Machynlleth, a captivating town that is home to the fascinating Centre for Alternative Technology, as well as Celtica, the first museum dedicated to Celtic history!

Llanwrtyd Wells is further south, in Ceredigion, and has a spa enticingly named ‘Stinking Well’ – on a similar theme the town is the base for the famous World Bog Snorkelling Championships! Rhayader is a good base visiting the beautiful Elan Valley, and is the northern end of the Wye Valley Walk. Brecon is another handsome, small town and is a good base to go and explore the Brecon Beacons National Park, an area so rugged that the SAS goes to train there!

Outdoor Attractions

The main attraction of Mid Wales is its beautiful countryside, and this includes a wide range of activities! For the more active there are walking, cycling, climbing and potholing (not forgetting bog snorkelling!). Other attractions include the Tregaron Kite Centre for red kites (the birds of prey that is), the world renowned Hay Literary Festival, museums like the National Cycle Collection, and Offa’s Dyke Centre, which provides information about this 8th century earthwork and the associated long distance footpath.
