The Accidental Arts & Ecology Centre is running a pop-up campsite for the summer months at Welsh Mountain Cider.

At 1,200 feet up in the Cambrian Mountains and 10 minutes’ drive from Llanidloes in Powys, this rural pop-up campsite is very firmly a back-to-basics sort of place, giving you and the family the chance to enjoy a ‘proper’ camping holiday in clean Welsh air.

What’s provided: neatly mown level grass pitches, drinkable water, composting toilets… and a spectacular view to rugged Welsh mountains. What’s not provided: electricity, hot water or showers.

The camping pitches are set in Prospect Orchard, a museum orchard of over 450 varieties of apple and pear; if you’d like to know more about this, the site owners hold orchard tours and cider tastings. They also host musical events at the Welsh Mountain Cider tap room on-site. The cider barn is open for drinks and live folk music session most Saturdays, otherwise the site is very quiet.
