Breeding pair of Red Kites stay at the barn

Red kites are regularly seen around the property

Red kites were previously on the point of extinction however now there are thought to be at least 600 breeding pairs in the UK, many of which are in Mid Wales.

we are fortunate enough to have a pair living int eh woods opposite the barn which means that whilst you enjoy a cup of tea in the warmth of the sun room you can watch the pair collecting nesting material and feeding - bird watching does not get more comfy than this.

Visit the Welsh Red Kite Trust for more information.

I took the photo above - if you manage to get a better shot then please send it to me!

Llanfair light railway

This railway runs from Llanfair to Welshpool

A great way to see the surrounding countryside whilst enjoying a narrow gauge railway. Kids love it.

Either start in Llnafair and go to Welshpool or do it the other way around. There is a cafe in Llanfair although if you want to keep your costs down then there is a picnic area for the packed lunch. Wear some older clothes since it can get sooty.

Enjoy
