What to do in and around Newtown, Powys

1hr 30mins from Birmingham and only 4 hours from London but a million miles from the hustle and bustle of city life.

Newtown, known in Welsh as 'Y Drenewydd', is the largest town in Powys (pop.13,000) and is situated on the banks of the River Severn.

Newtown provides the ideal base to stay for a few days to relax, unwind and explore the surrounding countryside.

The source of the River Severn (which is the longest river in the UK), starts just up the road in Llanidloes at Haren Forest.

Newtown is a great central point for your holiday in Wales. The Beach and coastal regions of Wales is only a 45minute drive, but if you prefer to go by public travel then why not take the train straight from Newtown right the way through to Aberystwyth or Borth..

Penygelli is easily accessible no matter where in the country you're coming from.
