We all know that the Welsh weather can sometimes turn on us very quickly, and although our valley is beautiful in any weather, some rainy-day activities, as a backup, could be very handy!
Big Pit Museum
Probably one of the best days out for any people of any age! Here you can go deep underground and experience at firsthand what life was like for the coal miners and the pit ponies
- Be taken down a 90 meter shaft in a miners cage
- Get guided around the underground workings by an ex-collier
- 25 minute drive from the campsite
National Showcaves Centre for Wales
Here you can go deep underground and experience the mystical underground world of caving (don’t worry, it’s all lit and has easy walking paths!)
- 3 incredible caves to walk through. Accessible for all ages and disabilities.
- Dinosaur park with more than 200 life-sized dinosaurs
- Shire Horse Centre & Farm
- Iron Age Museum
- Cafe and Gift Shop on site

Talybont Waterfalls:Â
Although this may not seem the greatest idea in the rain, there is something quite beautiful about being around the waterfalls in the rain! Plus, not many people will head there if it’s a wet day. Some would see it as total bliss. We have a walking roue available to borrow from our reception.
- Car park name: Blaen y Glyn Isaf
- 20 minute-drive away
- Sign posted walk, or just follow the sound of the waterfalls!
- Ample parking
