Wild Swimming in Meifod
-
The river Vyrnwy runs through Meifod (the next valley). It boasts a stunning swimming spot where intrepid locals jump from the bridge (we’ve never tried!). It’s a beautiful 10km walk from the cabin or a short drive. The Kings Head is fab for a drink to warm up after!
Adventures
Sunset at G&T Point
-
Whether it’s a G&T at sunset, a summer’s evening BBQ on the fire pit or an autumnal hot chocolate, roasting marshmallows. Visiting the seating area at end of our woods is a micro-adventure you can’t miss! Bring a head torch for your return trip.

This riding spot is often overlooked, but it's a little gem, with a rolling riot of a red cross-country loop, more gentle blue loop plus plenty of technical and tricky old downhill trails that'll provide a satisfying challenge for a modern trail or enduro bike.
