In the heart of Wales’ Dyfi forest about 7 miles north-east of Machynlleth, Eco Retreats is perfectly positioned for a range of exciting excursions (although many guests prefer to simply relax undisturbed in their living space!).
Some of the best mountain biking in Wales – close to Cli-machX Mountain Biking trail and Coed y Brenin.
We’re a short drive away from some beautiful beaches, such as Aberdyfi to the west and Ynyslas dunes to the south.
The local beaches can be great for windsurfing, surfing and kitesurfing – check out AberAdventures in Aberystwyth for surfing, paddle board and kayaking.
Machynlleth is a charming market town with a popular Wednesday market, a Modern Art Museum and a range of small cafes, shops and restaurants. It is known as the “green” capital of Wales and is home to the Centre for Alternative Technology.
Corris Craft Centre offers a wide range of unique Celtic and contemporary craftwork, including jewellery, leatherwork, pottery, rustic furniture and turned wood. There is also a café and children’s play area on site.
Take a steam train through breath-taking scenery. For example, Tal y Llyn railway passes the delightful Dolgoch Falls and there are excellent forest walks at Nant Gwernol.
Bwlchgwyn Farm offer pony treks along the Mawddach Estuary or on Fairbourne beach.
If your life is not that of an adventure, of a search into the unknown, then you are living in vain.
