The perfect place to unwind, and chillax
Jackie and Mike are great hosts and we couldn't ask for any more. The area was beautiful, with peace and tranquility and wildlife in abundance. There is so much to do, it's the choice that is hard. We wanted to sum it up with the following poem...
Glanrhos C P Ode
We crossed the bridge into Welsh Dragons' Heaven
our journey had been from down in South Devon
Where we were escaping from gulls and noise from the town
to a tranquil spot in mid Wales, which we hoped we had found
The journey there was easy as pie
and the Welsh air and views were not a lie
We arrived at Glanrhos feeling quite jaded
but were soon feeling better, with our past feelings faded
The sight awaited us was to behold
as we pitched the caravan which we had towed
Jackie & Mike greeted us with a smile
a folder of info, a cuppa and a chat for a while
We finished our tea, then pitched without din
with barrels and waste connected within
The silence was golden and needed at last
we had our peace, with a view not surpassed
Each pitch has a garden and a bird feeding station
which was visited by various birds of the nation
There were Woodpeckers, Sparrows, Tits and Magpies
as the magestic Red Kites were soaring on high
and the much smaller Swifts were catching bugs on the fly
One evening there was even a fox laying low
by the nature areas which had not been mown
There was a farm cat which was friendly and we found
that each evening it would be doing the rounds
Stalking the paddock on the lookout for tit bits
you see, it was part feral, still using it's wits
The places we visited were both near and far
which we enjoyed finding, with a map and a car
A Mansion, Harbours galore and a Bee Farm too
a Coracle Museum, and a Woollen Mill were only a few
Of the places we saw and enjoyed loads and loads
and we had a few mystery trips, as we took different roads
It was time to go but we both felt so glum
as we looked at this place, our peace in the sun, (and fog sometimes!)
So we booked some more nights on our pitch on the hill
it was a place we enjoyed and we'd not had our fill
So we stayed for more of this wonderful spot
with views, peace and campers coming and going a lot
Alas, our days again had come to an end
however, we have made two special friends
But as we travel back across the bridge homeward bound
we are comforted in the knowledge that we'll be back,
to reclaim our pitch on the mound...
