Church House Farm

Llandrindod Wells (five minutes' drive) is a handy place to find shops and places to eat, and it’s also home to a golf club, a pretty lake and the National Cycle Museum, with hundreds of bikes and associated memorabilia on display. Builth Wells (15 minutes) is another nice town to visit, with the River Wye running through its centre and various events running at the Royal Welsh Showground. Keeping it fairly local, you could also take a tour of the Grade II-listed Abbey Cwmhir Hall (10 minutes), a Gothic mansion with 12 acres of stunning gardens, or get up close to the big birds at Gigrin Farm’s Red Kite Feeding Station (15 minutes). The Elan Valley’s trails (25 minutes) and the route to Water-break-its-neck waterfall (20 minutes) are popular for walkers. Looking a little further afield, you can get to places like Hay-on-Wye, Ludlow, Hereford, Aberystwyth and Welshpool (for Powis Castle) with a drive of less than an hour. Brecon and the northern part of the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park are also within an hour.
