From the blues of Cardigan Bay to the resplendent shades of green, gold and silver of the countryside, the ever-changing colours of Mid Wales make walking, orienteering, and outdoor pursuits a fulfilling way to spend time here.
Mid Wales encompasses the vast counties of Ceredigion and Powys and ranges from the glistening coastline at Cardigan Bay to the lofty heights of the Cambrian Mountains. Such a varied landscape offers up a whole host of things to see and do, no matter what your interests might be.
Visit beautiful beaches like Aberporth, New Quay and many others along the sparkling Bae Ceredigion – where it’s not uncommon to spot marine life like seals and dolphins. The Wales Coast Path offers ample opportunity to see incredible waterside views at your own pace. Or take a train ride from Aberystwyth along the Cambrian Line, offering breathtaking scenery and a truly memorable trip.
Nature lovers must visit the UNESCO Dyfi Biosphere Reserve for a chance to see some of the most remarkable Welsh wildlife and learn about sustainable futures. Welsh is widely spoken in the Dyfi Valley, giving visitors an insight into this unique and ancient culture.
You can choose where to stay from our collection of Mid Wales holiday cottages and holiday lodges and plan your trip from walks along secluded trails to touring the Welsh castles hidden behind giant green vales. Taste bara brith in a tearoom or take the children on a narrow gauge steam train like their very own Hogwarts Express, before returning to one of our holiday lodges. Our Mid Wales accommodation has something to suit each guest – from family-friendly features to cosy boltholes for a romantic break.
