The Mid Wales Bunkhouse, Tipi and Camping is located at Woodhouse Farm, midway between Rhayader and Llanidloes, close to the villages of St. Harmon and Pant Y Dwr. As our name suggests we are right in the very centre of Wales. The surrounding countryside is splendidly wild. Be it summer or winter it can be explored by bike, on foot, or even on horseback or by canoe, with each season offering its own challenges. In winter weather such as we have had for the last couple of years even cross country skiing is a possibility.
We are close to the Elan and Wye Valleys, the Trans Cambrian Trail and Glyndwrs Way. The Lon Las Cymru cycle route is also close by, and on our website you will find a suggested, and we believe more interesting alternative route, taking you right past the door. The Radnorshire Ring, regional cycle route 25, also passes closeby, and this can easily form part of a circuit across Wales from East to West.
Outdoor enthusiasts, both young and old, will find plenty to do both on the farm and nearby.
Being set right in the centre of Wales we have the wild and remote Cambrian Mountains close by to the west and softer more gentle farmland to the east. Whether you are an avid hill walker seeking strenuous days out or a weekend cyclist looking for a day or two riding along pleasant and quiet lanes you will not be disappointed, and days o...

A Tipi is the traditional tent of the native North Americans, as found on the
plains of the 'Wild West' in the 1700’s.
It is constructed with a number of poles crossed and tied at the top, with a
canvas covering.
A fire can be lit in the chiminea in the middle for warmth, the smoke passing
through an opening at the top of the tent. Flaps on the outside of the
tipi direct the smoke depending on the prevailing wi...
