Town Hill

The walk up Town Hill rewards you with proper views across the Powys valleys - the kind of outlook that makes the climb worthwhile, especially on a clear day. It's a straightforward ascent, nothing technical, which means families with older kids will manage it fine without too much grumbling. The summit itself is quiet and unfussy, no visitor centre or café, just you and the landscape.

Allow a couple of hours for the round trip depending on your pace and how long you linger at the top. It's the sort of walk that works brilliantly as part of a wider morning out - combine it with a wander through the nearby villages and you've got a solid half-day sorted. Spring and early autumn are your best bets weather-wise; the winter months can be grim up there when the wind picks up.

If you're staying at one of the caravan parks within easy reach - Smithy Park and Mellington Hall are both under four miles away - this makes an ideal leg-stretch without committing to a full day's expedition. Families camping nearby will find it accessible enough for kids who've got some walking miles in their legs already. Walkers passing through Mid Wales will appreciate the straightforward route and the way it opens up the local topography. Free to visit, naturally, and you'll likely have the place largely to yourself outside peak season.
