Dolgoch Wilderness Long May Bank Holiday Weekend in Mid Wales

For those who like to get away from the pressures of normal life and to go to somewhere new, this is definitely the place for you. To get there you travel via Shrewsbury or Leominster which doesn't sound so far away but when you get there you are in a different world.

South of Snowdonia and North of the Brecon Beacons there is a massive strip of land some 25 miles high and 20 miles wide which has avoided the progress of time and development, where wildlife can live without the threat of pesticides and other chemicals, big enough to be worth exploring but small enough to make our own!

Come and experience the peace of this unique hostel location in the secluded Tywi valley in the heart of the remote Cambrian Mountains in Wales. A stay in this 17th century farmhouse will take you into an era before mains electricity of which there is none!

The historic former farmhouse has thick stone walls, a traditional Welsh slate floor and an amazing stone floored common room with a cosy wood burning stove. There is a well equipped kitchen with a gas cooker and additional gas hobs but no fridge. Solar power provides hot water for the showers and wash basins for most of the year and LED lighting for the downstairs areas. All bedding is provided so no need for you to bring your own duvets or sleeping bags.

Help yourself breakfasts and lunch packups are provided as is hot food Friday, Saturday and Sunday night but feel free to bring desserts, cakes and other goodies to share as well as your own alcoholic drinks. Tea and coffee will be provided.

The nearest shops are around 10 miles away in Tregaron or Llanwyrtyd Wells so best to bring it with you!

Accommodation is single sex bunk rooms of a variety of sizes with full bedding provided but not towels.

Saturday, Sunday and Monday routes will be discussed with everyone on arrival to ensure we are meeting overall expectations but on this weekend there are many routes we could choose from, so something for everyone.
