• Welshpool and area has a varied range of things to do and places to see, with opportunities for dog walking scenic trails, wildlife, fishing and golf, visiting historic sites and exploring beautiful villages.

• The historic market town of Welshpool with its beautiful Georgian architecture, is 2 miles away from this comfortable cottage and offers shops, supermarkets, pubs and restaurants.

•  Set in a restored canalside warehouse on the Canal Wharf, the museum tells the story of the history and development of life in Montgomeryshire from the earliest times.

• Enjoy a thrilling trail bike wilderness tour along the Berwyn Trail from Llanymynech towards Oswestry and on to Llangollen then south west to Lake Vrynwy with spectacular views of the Berwyn Mountains on route.

The Montgomery Canal

• Originally built to give access for the delivery of lime for local agriculture, was restored at the beginning of the 21st century. It is now a 7 mile waterway offering facilities for pleasure boating and a number of sites for the preservation of wildlife.

• Visit the magnificent Powis Castle, its gardens & parkland (NT). The museum exhibits treasures brought back by Clive from India; the world-famous gardens, overhung with clipped yews are laid out in a mix of Italian and French styles, with the original lead statues and an orangery on the terraces. A fascinating excursion for guests. 

• There are several golf courses within a short drive - try the nine hole Lakeside golf course between Welshpool and Newtown, or Welshpool's own 18 hole course just three miles out of the town, with its spectacular views looking over to the Snowdonia mountains.

• Two National Trails run within close proximity of Welshpool town. Offa's Dyke, the earthwork built by the King of Mercia in the 8th century, passes to the East on its 177 mile route from Chepstow in the south to Prestatyn in the north.

• Named after the 15th century welsh folk hero, Owain Glyndwr, completes its 135 mile trek from the Town Clock at Knighton next to the canal in Welshpool, having passed through a mix of open moorland, farmland and forest.

• This trail is in the region of 220 miles long and passes through the towns of the borderlands of Wales, following the path of the river Severn from its source at Plynlimon to its mouth at the end of the Avon Gorge. It offers the opportunity for walkers to experience different natural habitats, and venture both into the heart of the unspoilt rural landscape and travel through the heart of many market towns.

• This 2' 6" narrow gauge steam railway was originally built to take local people and their sheep and cattle to market. Now it provides a tourist service for all the family during the summer months (but not every day so phone to check the timetable) - it is a welcome change from the rush of every day life.

• See some of Britain's most spectacular scenery from the air. Experience a thrilling pleasure flight from Welshpool Airport. Fly over Powis Castle, once home to Clive of India, or survey the grand and dramatic Snowdonia National Park.

• This is no ordinary garden centre, Derwen is enormous and stocks a huge range of plants as well as quality farm produce, gifts homewares and sundries. Its own beautiful medal winning garden is open to the public too. The fully licensed restaurant with veranda is open for breakfast, lunch afternoon tea.

• A short drive away, Lake Vyrnwy, set just on the edge of the Snowdonia National Park in the beautiful Berwyn Mountains, is the scene of spectacular waterfalls and unspoilt open countryside. Visitors can walk and cycle or take to the water with canoes, kayaks, sailing boats and paddle boards available for hire or under instruction. Nearby you can also try quad biking and clay pigeon shooting.

• Visit Montgomery town, its Norman Castle, its timber-framed houses and cobbled streets. Take in the mix of Georgian and Victorian architecture and enjoy the breathtaking scenery, visit the galleries and cafes on the high street or have lunch in the Michelin star restaurant, "The Checkers".
