Powys Pods offers an alternative camping experience for everyone, from walkers, family groups, pony trekkers, mountain bikers and bird watchers to those who simply love the peace and quiet of the countryside. So join us on our working family farm for a peaceful and enjoyable stay, whether you want a quiet get-away, or an action-packed break. Click on the links below to find out what will be on your doorstep at Powys Pods, or have a look at our tourist leaflets when you arrive - but remember, we are in an ideal location just to do nothing! ~ Listed nearest first under each heading ~
