Review
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. 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. 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 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)
