It is a predominantly rural area with excellent dark skies for star gazing, on a clear night the Milky Way is clearly visible, the Space guard Centre (small observatory) is less than 0.5 miles along the road and well worth a visit, while being a rural location, you also have easy access to more major towns & cities, country life is why people come and visit and in many cases return year on year or even move to this beautiful unspoiled area to escape the ‘rat race’ and take life at a slower more enjoyable pace.
The lodge is situated in a 10-acre plot where children as well as the more adventurous adults can play and explore the countryside.
Your Hosts the MacPherson Family live just over the field, so if you need anything just ask, otherwise we leave you to enjoy the peace.
Nearby are many excellent walks with the famous Offa’s Dyke running through Knighton (Tref-y-Clawdd, meaning the town on the Dyke), the tourist office, situated within the Offa’s Dyke visitors centre in Knighton offers excellent advice.
For the more adventurous there are many bike trails with the 'black' downhill mountain bike run at Hopton Woods about 5 miles away (we can arrange drop off or pick-ups with your bikes and we have free mountain bike jet washing facilities on-site) not to mention the many horse-riding trails and centres, rally driving and canoeing all within easy reach.
Days out can include a visit to the nearby historic towns of Ludlow or Hay-on-Wye both having many festivals and celebrations throughout the year, as well as many local shops, bars and restaurants.
