  • 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.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite (wild)

Liked What a beautiful hidden gem! I like the fact they seem to limit numbers of campers so there is space to feel peace and relaxation. The amenities were great, with a lovely kitchen and communal area. It meant that if you had forgotten something they had you covered.
The communication before arrival was personable and the welcome on arrival was amazing. It felt like being welcomed into their home! They are obviously proud of what they have to offer and rightfully so!

Wish it was closer to home as I would love to go back.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite (wild)

Liked Everything!
The location was beautiful, it was amazing that we could go as a group and have space together, the play area was incredible to have and the whole layout and offer of the toilets and kitchen area made such a difference to us camping with kids. Seb and family were so accommodating, we loved being able to hire kayaks too.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite (wild)

Liked The warm, friendly welcome by the owners and the tour of this beautiful and unique site.

The wild flower meadow in which to camp with a choice of thoughtfully spaced out pitches.

The kitchen facilities were lovely - the best we have ever come across, which makes the camping experience so much easier!

Access to the river and space to explore different areas on-site means there’s plenty for young families to explore.

Clean bathroom facilities.

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.
