Tucked away under the watchful eye of St Cewydd’s on the one side and bordered by the babbling river Ithon lies Disserth Caravan and Camping Park. Set amidst natural tranquillity this compact sheltered level park has been accommodating travellers for centuries, once it was an overnight stop for drovers heading for the Midlands and now today it is an idyllic location for your caravan, motorhome or tent for a relaxing rest from the hustle and bustle of modern living or a base from which to explore the natural beauty of the Heart of Wales.

The fortunate few really do know that we have otters for neighbours and those budding anglers amongst you will have to compete with the resident kingfisher and heron for a share of the catch. Buzzards and red kite regularly grace the thermals over the park whilst the surrounding hedgerows and trees are home to a wealth of smaller birds. On a warm summer evening with a cloudless sky the unfolding night sky is a joy to behold as there is no white light pollution to interrupt the spectacle.

Your hosts at Disserth are Ann and Mike Hobbs plus their two daughters.

Park guests are welcome to fish the Ithon along the park stretch or we are able for a modest fee offer a further five miles fishing along the river. In Llandrindod Wells there is the lake and other privately owned lakes and reservoirs that can be fished on a daily ticket.

Numerous public footpaths radiate away from the campsite and the whole county of Powys is criss-crossed with public rights of way for the serious rambler and cyclists.

The park is watched over by St Cewydd’s a popular tourist pilgrimage in its own right as it boasts a wealth of history and myth and interesting wooden boxed pews. Nearby to the north is Llandrindod Wells once frequented by the Victorians for the ‘spa waters’ remembered today with the annual August Bank Holiday Victorian Festival? Close to the south lies Builth Wells and the adjacent showground where the Welsh Agricultural Show is held in July numerous other established annual events. Builth also boasts the Wyeside theatre and cinema.

At Rhayader is the Elan Valley with its series of dams and reservoirs which are fully depicted at the popular visitor centre. Also at Rhayader is Gilgrin Farm Red Kite feeding station where the birds are fed daily at 3pm.

Surrounding this is a wealth of majestic scenery and peaceful countryside begging discovery and on a hot sunny day the seaside is under an hour away, in fact the only missing ingredient missing from this Heart of Wales recipe is you…..
