Nestled near the River Severn, Cwm Hafren is the perfect base for discovering the rich landscapes of Montgomeryshire. Whatever your ideal pace, whoever you’re travelling with, and whatever the unpredictable Welsh weather brings, you’ll find an incredible mix of indoor retreats and outdoor adventures just minutes away.
Here is your ultimate guide to enjoying Montgomeryshire through every season, all from the comfort of our dog-friendly Newtown caravan park.
Taking the kids on an adventure across Powys is effortless when staying at Cwm Hafren. Just a short drive away, you can board the Welshpool & Llanfair Light Railway. Families love riding the historic steam train as it winds through scenic valleys and rolling hills.
For animal lovers, a scenic drive to Gigrin Farm Red Kite Feeding Centre is well worth the extra few minutes. It offers a truly mesmerising sight as hundreds of wild birds of prey gather against the autumn sky.
Back at the park, children can burn off extra energy at our on-site play area while parents relax and soak up the peaceful surrounding nature.
If you’re planning a quieter getaway for couples or adults, Montgomeryshire offers plenty of spots to explore. Set high above the historic town of Montgomery, Montgomery Castle offers sweeping views across the surrounding countryside and into neighbouring Shropshire. It’s an ideal spot for a scenic autumn walk followed by lunch in a cosy local pub.
Wine enthusiasts will also love Kerry Vale Vineyard, situated right on the border, only 20 minutes from the park. You can take a guided vineyard tour, learn about Welsh winemaking, and sample local vintages paired with a delicious afternoon tea.
When October weather turns chilly and dark evenings draw in, Montgomeryshire has plenty of warm, dry indoor attractions to keep you entertained:
You can step inside Powis Castle & Garden near Welshpool to admire grand state rooms, fine art, and historic collections while staying safely out of the autumn rain.
Just down the road in Caersws, the welcoming Mid Wales Arts Centre features vibrant contemporary art exhibitions, indoor sculpture displays, and creative craft workshops.
Alternatively, a trip to Berriew brings you to the quirky Andrew Logan Museum of Sculpture, showcasing unique glass and glitter artwork for a cheerful, colourful retreat on a wet day.
For outdoor enthusiasts who love wrapping up warm in wellies and waterproofs, Mid Wales is a paradise. A 45-minute drive takes you to Lake Vyrnwy, a stunning Victorian reservoir surrounded by nature reserve trails, hidden waterfalls, and crisp woodland walks.
You can also head 30 minutes west to Hafren Forest, where scenic trails take you past cascading boardwalk paths right to the source of the River Severn.
If you prefer staying closer to home, you can access local walks along the Severn Way directly near the park. Following the winding paths, these routes let you take in the vibrant seasonal colours alongside your dogs, who are always welcome at Cwm Hafren.
