Bird heaven
If you are looking for a site where you can while away the time watching and listening to a Smorgasbord of bird life when Spring is in full flow then this is the place for you. It's a small terraced no toilet block site set in a valley about 10 miles east of Machynlleth. There are some seasonal pitches, a few grass pitches and the rest are hard standing pitches mostly flat. The site faces out to the opposite side of the valley and the views are gratifyingly peaceful. As usual the wardens do a grand job but beware there are times when the office is shut as they need some time off. The main road running past the site is quiet at night and the lanes leading up above the site are steep but safe. There is a small stream that runs down one side of the site. This side only has 6 pitches on, being separated by the road going up onto the hills. It's not a site for families or those who may have difficulty with inclines as the water and waste units are not always accessible from your terrace but either up or down. TV and WiFi coverage is poor to non existent. Shopping is at least 10 miles away apart from a very small shop in Llanbrynmair, 1 mile away. This is a place to come to for relaxation and those seeking a helter skelter, all singing all dancing site must look elsewhere. Come here when you need some down time, although if you look for it energetic opportunities are to be found in the hills or the seaside a few miles away.
