This site is a CL and a little piece of heaven nestling on the edge of the Brecon national park in the middle of Wales run by Eileen & Mark and is set in a seven and a half acre smallholding in Cynghordy just 5 minutes walk from Heart of Wales railway line running up to Shrewsbury and the Midlands and down to Swansea with connections to Cardiff and London.
The nearest town is Llandovery or Llanymddyffri, is just a mile or so away. Llandovery means ‘church among the waters. Llandovery is surrounded by three rivers, the Towy, the Bran, and the Gwydderig. It is a market town that still has a medieval feel to it, and is steeped in history and well worth a visit. It is also has a famous cafe; thousand of motorcycles stop at West End Cafe every year and if you like motorcycles a cup of tea here is a must, any weekend of the year.
It’s situated on a very quiet but accessible road even for American RV’s and only 5 miles from woodland walks in the Brecon’s
It’s not unusual to see all kind of wildlife from the site including Buzzard, Red Kite, Goshawk, Peregrine, Kingfisher, Dipper, Pied Flycatcher in spring and summer, Yellow, grey and pied wagtails, Nuthatch, Tree creeper, Red Start, Siskin‘s, Goldcrests, Long tailed Tits, Green and spotted Woodpeckers, Warblers and Finches beside the common garden birds.
A cock Pheasant and his two wives live in the big field.
It has wonderful small lake with a walk around which is stocked with various fish that love to be feed with leftover bread and it’s not unusual to see Canadian Geese come to the lake for a few days in March, they must be passing through to their summer residence. It’s also not unusual to have Bats, Owls, Badgers and Foxes drinking here to along with an Otter family who Mark discourages as the feed on the fish.
The site itself has 5 hard standing pitches each capable of parking a large American motor home on and some addition grass areas and currently has 10 electric hook-ups that never tripped once while Mhfun held a meeting there which included 4 RV’s and a motor home which can be a test of any sites power capabilities.
The site also welcomes well behaved dogs
It has fresh water point and waste water point and toilet emptying facilities that can be accessed even by large motor homes.
This site is in it’s infancy and Eileen is improving it all the time when she sees the needs of her clients.
You will always receive a warm welcome and I would recommend the site to anyone or small group of campers/caravaners or motor homers (I must be MAD as it a real GEM of a site)
