There is rhythm to life here in Mid Wales. The valleys hold this incredible creation where the land breaks open and pours out. The land doesn't just hold us but it gives life. Every second you spend discovering the landscapes of mid wales feels like its breathing life back into you. Staying at our lodges puts you within reach of these hidden treasures and here's why you should visit them.

Do you ever find yourself always being attracted to the natural flow of water? Every time we venture out, whether on a gentle stroll through soft woodland or a more ambitious hike over rolling hills, we naturally stand in awe at the flow of creation. There is a quiet stillness of contained water, where reflections hover like glass and we become captivated. However, then there is the waterfall. With unstoppable force it plunges down the landscape scattering mist into the air as it roars and fills the valley. As the dance of the water carves out its home in the stones, we cant help but let go of all the noise in our minds. Exploring waterfalls during your romantic couples getaway is the perfect way to impress the person you love, this takes away the pressure of having to spend hours planning some grand gesture. There's nothing quite like the magnificent Falls of Wales.

Devils Bridge Waterfalls

Hafren Forest Severn-Break-its-Neck
This waterfall is accessed via the 1.8 mile trail from Rhyd-y-benwch car park. This scenic walk features a footbridge directly over the falls and the loop takes approximately 1-1.5 hours.
Rhiwargor Waterfall
Located off the beautiful Lake Vyrnwy is this stunning waterfall. It's around a 1km flat walk to the waterfall from the small car park north of the lake. With many levels, you can enjoy the view from the bottom or do a bit of clambering up to experience the beauty different levels have to offer.
Water Break-its-Neck
Hidden in Warren Wood is this gem. There are a few options for walks. A short 15min option and roughly a 45min option from the car park. Warning this walk can be very muddy and a little steep in places but you get rewarded with the experience and the stunning views.
Pistyll-y-llyn
This waterfall is actually one of the tallest waterfalls in Wales. This waterfall has a low flow of water and is best to be discovered after heavy rainfall so if you feel like your plans have been ruined because of the weather don't be disappointed, this is the perfect time to visit Pistyll-y-llyn.
Sgwd Yr Eira
Bit further than Mid Wales but still in Wales and a real site to see. This is a renowned 50ft waterfall. It's famous for its path that allows you to walk directly behind the cascading water of the waterfall. This is a part of the Four Waterfalls Walk in the Breacon Beacons National Park.
