Self-catering holidays in Powys, Wales
Powys is a sparsely populated hilly county, just over the Welsh border, the largest in Wales. A good choice for travellers seeking quiet mountain views, beautiful rural scenery, outdoor activities such as walking, riding, cycling or birdwatching in the Radnor Forest Valley, or perhaps to discover pretty little Welsh villages or ruined castles, away from the crowds. A trip to Powys Castle provides a great day out for all ages. Knighton
