The house itself is a large Grade II listed country residence, surrounded by 14 acres of gardens and woodlands through which the river Severn flows on its way to Llanidloes. Its waters are clear and cool - ideal for swimming in the deep, rocky pools or just paddling in the shallows. The woodlands and gardens, which were established 175 years ago, include some superb oak, beeches, fir trees, and abundant rhododendrons and azaleas. Whether you just sit in the gardens or wander through the many paths to the wilder parts of the woodland, there is a rich variety of natural life to watch - squirrels and finches, kingfishers and wagtails, owls, buzzards, red kites, the odd heron and otters if you are very fortunate! Some of our walks take us through the Hafren Forest to the source of the Severn on Plynlimon's slopes. The flowers, trees and mosses are all spectacular. On the edge of the forest, in the Bryntail Gorge, stands the massive dam of the Clywedog reservoir. The lake is 6 miles long and is a paradise for sailing and other water sports. The breathtaking falls of Ffwrd Fawr, dropping hundreds of feet into the Twymyn gorge, are only 10 miles from Mount Severn. The spectacular Cadair Idris is within an hours drive. Although hills, rivers and wildlife are all around, civilisation is not too far away. Llanidloes is a lively market town. Its Market Charter was granted in 1280 by King Edward I and its ancient Market Hall, built around 1600, is the only one of its kind in Wales. |
