What to do.
Book an adventure activity with Black Mountain
Adventure p44 who can help you take to the water with a
canoe trip from Glasbury on Wye to Hay-on-Wye. If you
like your water warmer Riverside International p45 in
Bronllys have a pool and jacuzzi open to the general public.
Take a walk or plan a walking holiday with Walk Hay p45
or saddle up with Tregoyd Mountain Riders p51. Choose
whether to hire a bike or an ebike for the day, you can also
hire a guide to help find the choicest routes at Drover
Cycles p47.
If your dogs need a run they can roam free at The Whole
Yard p44 - book a session on their website. With so much
livestock in fields and on the hills, this is the safest way to
keep your canine friends happy and safe when they are off
the lead.
Outside the Park but worth the drive are the gorgeous
Elan Valley Lakes p55 and visitor centre. You can see the
reservoirs which provide water for many people’s taps in
the Midlands and in Wales. There are easy to access walks
and bike hire and if you visit when it has been raining you
may get to see the water pouring down the impressive,
Edwardian dam wall.
