Self catering accommodation near the Berwyn Mountains
The well equipped bunkhouse at Y Dolydd Llanfyllin Workhouse offers a unique holiday experience. Stay in one of the last remaining Victorian workhouses still open to the public. Set in 6.5 acres of beautifully peaceful grounds, Y Dolydd is a registered charity owned and managed by the community to renovate and conserve the largest community funded heritage project in Wales. Handy for Welshpool, Oswestry & Shrewsbury and close to the Berwyn Mountains National Nature Reserve, it has access to a range of outdoor and adventure activities including scrambling, water sports, walking and cycling. Nearby attractions include Lake Vyrnwy and Pistyll Rhaeadr waterfall, the tallest single drop waterfall in the UK and Revolution bike park. The Bunkhouse sleeps 24 (all bunks) and is open all year. Y Dolydd is also a venue and is available for exclusive hire for your wedding, private party, festival, conference or meeting. The History Centre is open daily 10am - 5pm, is free to enter and is well worth a visit to learn more about the building and the people who lived and worked in it.

Llanfyllin Workhouse (also known as Bunkhouse at the Workhouse) will be hosting the inaugural Crefft Cymru fair on the 29th & 30th of May.
Ideal for those who enjoy unique handmade items and artisan food, there will be 30 stalls exhibiting and selling the best of British made crafts and delicacies. Visitors can also enjoy live music and demonstrations as part of the event, as well as the unique and historic setting of a Victorian workhouse – one of the last still open to the public. Entry is free and parking is only £5 for the day, making this an unmissable opportunity to absorb some local culture.
A story of a local landmark and the attempt to save it. The Lonely Tree was an iconic part of the community and the fact it was horizontal was not stopping anyone! It was entered into the competition to be Welsh Tree of the Year in the October after it blew over, and won! Then in 2015 it was entered into the European Tree of the year competition. This is a story of community endeavour, tenacity and wishful thinking. It only needs a Hollywood ending to finish the tale.
