Title: Kids trip
Post by: guest7 on February 25, 2009, 09:20:28 AM: Anyone fancy a bring-your-child weekend this Easter? I thought of camping for a night or two at Rhayader - good facilities, an adventure playground, easy access to the Elan Valley and, ahem, some pubs.

It's about time I started bringing young Dylan along to some camping weekends.

Be mindful that the last time we stayed in Rhayader the noise from passing lorries at night was constant , but the facilities are fine and child friendly .

How We Laughed !

Check out the Wyeside Camping web site for prices !
Used to be a council run site,not too sure if it still is.
It is very good.

In retrospect it might be a better option than Rhayader, which can be busy and (as Rob pointed out) is next to a major arterial route.
