Best wellbeing and creative holiday experiences in the Brecon Beacons & Cambrian Mountains
Eating wild, creating, exploring, adventuring, star gazing and chilling - our tips to immerse yourself in local experiences and culture away from the crowds

1. Go starry eyed
2. Get creative
Felting & Cyanotypes
Try your hand at felting with Jane Evans in her beautiful riverside studio in the Upper Tywi Valley. Jane loves to work with colour and you will learn wet felting and nuno felting, which combines silk and wool together. You can also try cobweb and wild felting. No experience necessary.

3. Adventures in the great outdoors
4. Go foraging
Go foraging with author of The Hedgerow Handbook Adele Nozedar who runs a variety of courses including:
• Half-day courses for adults and kids
• Once-a-month seasonal half-day midweek courses, 'Wild Wednesday!'
• Botanical Gin Workshops
During foraging walks you’ll be encouraged to observe, using all of your senses to guide you in finding and recognising the plants, fungi and wildlife around us. Recognition of plants is a wonderfully sensory experience; squeezing and smelling leaves, rubbing them between your fingers to get a sense of their juices and oils, and tasting nectar is all a part of the adventure. There will be lots of leaning on fences, one foot on the bottom bar, looking at the horizon.
Coastal Foraging with Craig Evans
Craig has a life-long passion for sea life and its environment; and his knowledge of the wild food of the West Wales coast will have you engrossed and inspired.He offers a number of different experiences including the classic where you learn about sea vegetables and shell fish and the extreme low tide course where you will forage more of the deep water species.
5. And chill out...
Yoga and holistic therapies
If you’re looking to unwind and relax on your holiday, book a treatment or a yoga session at Holistic Heaven just down the road from us here in the Tywi Valley. Treatments with Claire include aromatherapy, massage, reflexology, deep tissue therapy and hot stone massage, and many others. Just imagine a wonderful walk out in the wilderness, followed by a rejuvenating session with Claire.
