  • During a motorcycle camping trip to Powys in Wales I stayed for a night at Dol-Llys Farm Campsite near the small historic market town of Llanidloes.
    Located in a beautiful area of Wales, with excellent motorcycle riding, the campsite is located just 20 minutes walk from the town with all facilities.

    I knew you would love this campsite Andy, We stay here quite often as a family, and use it for a base for Rhayader, Aberystwyth, and Gigrin Farm to see the red Kites being fed. They also have freezers that you can put your freezer blocks in. Also if you do go back, and it is on a Sunday, book in to the red Lion Pub for the Carvery, very reasonable and homemade 😊

    Enjoyed that Andy, as it happens I’m at the campsite now 😁👍 for me and the Mrs it cost £96 for four nights I agree with you it’s a beautiful campsite and I’ve been coming here for a number of years , and it’s interesting to see what other people think of it. You are right it is a great base to explore mid Wales and it won’t break the bank either cheers Mark .

    Andy, I love in Wales and not yet taken advantage of such camping sites. I still haven't been camping on my bike, yet. Nice review 👌
    I do like quiet and maybe fear rocking up to noise and screaming kids. Maybe it's best out of season when the children are back in school. Keep up the reviews 👍atb Taff 🤠👊

    • @thecampingbiker791
      @thecampingbiker791  Год назад +1

      Thanks Taff, I’d definitely leave it until kids at school…weekends are busy but weekdays usually quite! You must give the bike camping a go…a man of the woods should be able to pack light 😆 👍🏻

    • @thecampingbiker791
      @thecampingbiker791  Год назад

      Hi Fengbi, any of the following sites would be excellent for stopping and doing all the Lakeland Passes and there are reviews on each one on the channel:
      AMBLESIDE AREA (most central)
      Coniston Hall
      BaysBrown Farm
      Great Langdale National Trust
      KESWICK AREA:
      Stonethwaite Farm
      Seathwaite Farm
      ULLSWATER AREA:
      Side Farm
      I personally love the Borrowdale Valley, Keswick area but wouldn’t hesitate to stop at any of them.
      The National Trust site is excellent but a bit pricy at this time of year!
      Good luck and possibly plan your route with a stop at different sites, even better 😃

    • @thecampingbiker791
      @thecampingbiker791  Год назад +1

      Thanks and great central location good roads any direction… to be honest I just travelled there on main roads, which are all great, but there’s lots of smaller B roads and one I’ve flagged for future visit is the B4518 from there up to Clwyedog Reservoir then on to Llanbrynmair on A470 then circle to coast and back (any route will be good)
