YOUR LOCAL HOLIDAY GUIDE
Things to do in Powys
Elan Valley
The reservoirs and surrounding landscape offer scenic outings and named walking or cycling routes. Check the route and visitor facilities for your chosen part of the valley before setting off.
Welshpool
Welshpool provides a market-town stop with heritage attractions nearby. Check current access to Powis Castle or any railway trip you want to include, then leave time for the town.
Brecon and the southern county
Brecon combines a town visit with nearby canal and countryside possibilities. A short canal-side outing can offer a different pace from a more demanding day in the surrounding hills.
Local shops, food & places to browse
Welshpool, Newtown, Llandrindod Wells and Brecon are practical provisions centres in different parts of Powys. Hay-on-Wye offers a distinctive bookshop-focused stop on the southern border.
Planning your holiday in Powys
Do not plan the whole county as one day-trip area. Check driving distances, weather and the exact route for upland outings, especially away from the main towns.
Choosing where to stay
Choose north, central or south Powys around your main interests; the county label alone is too broad for judging travel time.
Before you book, check the advert’s address, sleeping arrangements, park facilities and any extra charges with the owner. Use the search filters for features such as decking, a hot tub or a washing machine, and park facilities such as a pool or clubhouse.
Powys holiday questions
Can I find private caravans and lodges to rent in Powys?
Any current adverts for this area appear in the holiday homes section above. If nothing is listed or your search has no matches, it will show “Nothing available right now”. The area guide remains available to help you plan.
How do I check dates and contact the owner?

Where should I base my holiday in Powys?
Choose north, central or south Powys around your main interests; the county label alone is too broad for judging travel time. Check the exact address and journey to the places you plan to visit before enquiring.
Can I advertise my caravan or lodge here?
Owners can list a holiday home with an annual or monthly membership. Enter the actual town or village and select the correct country and region in your dashboard so an eligible published advert appears in the right area. See owner plans and listing prices.
