Powys is the largest county in Wales, and one of its most peaceful and unspoiled — a place of rolling hills, rugged mountains, ancient castles, and big open skies. With much of the county covered by the Brecon Beacons (Bannau Brycheiniog) National Park and the Cambrian Mountains, it’s the perfect destination for a caravan holiday focused on walking, wildlife, and getting away from it all.
Caravan parks in Powys range from valleys and farmland to highland plateaus, often near historic towns like Brecon, Llandrindod Wells, Machynlleth, and Welshpool. This is a land full of stories — from Offa’s Dyke to ancient stone circles, hillforts, and legends of princes and saints. With its low population and vast landscapes, Powys is ideal for those seeking tranquillity, space, and true rural Wales.
For a holiday that’s wild, soulful, and rich in heritage, Powys is the heart of the Welsh countryside.
