  • Hosted eco-friendly site surrounded by spectacular Powys countryside
  • Eco buildings surrounded by a wildflower camping meadow
  • Straw-bale kitchen, wooden play area, toilets and showers
A rural retreat awaits at the peaceful Powys base of Sychpwll Centre, a walker's paradise in the Welsh countryside, two miles from the village of Llandrinio. The centre houses a range of eco-friendly buildings, surrounded by a wildflower camping meadow. As the site backs onto the River Vyrnwy, both it and the surrounding countryside are an excellent base for guests who want to have an environmentally-friendly stay among spectacular scenery. Guests are welcome to use the centre's straw-bale kitchen for indoor cooking; outdoors, both barbecues and campfires are allowed. Several country pubs with good food and drink are close by, and guests will be within 30 minutes' drive of the market towns of Shrewsbury, Welshpool and Oswestry. The site also has a toilet block with instant warm water and showers.

Mark L. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch (wild)

Liked: The ambience of the place is lovely. Really relaxed and beautifully quiet. The hosts are very helpful. The facilities of toilets and showers are basic but functional. (Hot water from the showers.) They are also being improved at the moment, so will be even better soon. For a back- or bike-packing holiday, the standout advantages are the kitchen facilities, where there is equipment to borrow and use on the cooker, with kettle, fridge, freezer and seating area.

Disliked: I'm personally not a huge fan of unisex toilet and shower facilities. Also the few steps to the kitchen are very deep and steep with no rail. (Though I think there may be another, level, way in at the other end of the room.)

Highly recommend 🌟🌞 Would definitely stay again, thankyou

Liked: Beautiful location, quiet and peaceful. Amazing buildings and the available kitchen is the best I’ve seen anywhere. Owner gave us an interesting tour of the site. Lovely walks along the river and on site. As there is very little light pollution, the sky at night is breathtaking. We will certainly be back. This could be our new favourite place.

Disliked: Can’t think of one thing.

Local attractions

Based a mile from where the unpolluted River Vrynwy meets the River Severn, Sychpwll is cosy in winter and normally with a good climate in summer. There’s more than enough to do to keep everyone happy all year round, with those coming for walking or cycling holidays particularly having lots of choice. The hiking in this area gives world-class views, such as the famous Offa’s Dyke Path or one of the three routes to the landmark Rodney’s Pillar. Visitors can also visit local farmers’ markets or nearby Lake Vrynwy, or try their hand at one of the many activities nearby, including climbing, fishing, horse riding and watersports. Or, for those who like to hit a ball as hard as possible, tennis is available in town and there’s a golf course within half an hour’s drive. The market towns of Shrewsbury, Welshpool and Oswestry are around seven miles miles away for shopping, and there are plenty of days out at local attractions such as historic Powys Castle and the Welshpool to Llanfair Light Steam Railway. Culture vultures can go slightly further afield to Ludlow and Shrewsbury (around 13 miles away), for festivals, arts events and nights on the town.
