Mountain Biking And Trails
With direct, off‑piste trail access right from the campsite or Dyfi Bike Park and routes like ClimachX and Mach Trails, the Dyfi Valley is a mountain biking haven.
Whether you're after downhill laps, singletrack exploration, or linking into Glyndŵr's Way, there's no need to drive - just step out and ride.
Walking And Wild Swimming
The Dyfi Valley offers fantastic walking, with scenic routes like the Dyfi Valley Way and Glyndŵr’s Way passing through hills, woods, and riverside paths. Whether you're after a short stroll or a longer hike, there’s something for all levels.
Closer to the campsite, riverside beaches provide the perfect spot to paddle, unwind, or take a refreshing wild swim on warmer days.
Nature And Culture
From wildlife to Welsh legends, the Dyfi Valley is full of surprises. Visit Cors Dyfi Nature Reserve to spot ospreys, otters, and other wetland wildlife in their natural habitat.
For something a little different, Corris Craft Centre and King Arthur’s Labyrinth offer underground adventures, local artisan shops, and fun for all ages.
Beaches And Scenic Drives
If you're craving sea air, both Aberdyfi and Barmouth are around 35 minutes away. These classic seaside towns offer sandy beaches, gentle waves, and plenty of space for walking, swimming, or simply relaxing with an ice cream by the estuary.
The drives there are scenic in their own right, winding through valleys and along the coast with plenty of photo-worthy stops along the way.
Cadair Idris
Rising above the southern edge of Snowdonia, Cadair Idris is one of Wales’s most iconic peaks. It’s a favourite for hikers and mountain bikers alike, with routes ranging from steady climbs to full-day adventures.
Whichever path you choose, you’ll be rewarded with sweeping views across the valleys, lakes, and coastline.
The Mach Loop
For aviation fans and thrill seekers, the Mach Loop is a must-see.
This series of low-flying training routes cuts through the valleys of mid-Wales - and Dyfi Adventure Campsite sits near some of the best viewing spots.
Watch fast jets like RAF Typhoons and US Air Force F-15s roar through the sky, often just above treetop level.
