CYP Now - Activity Ideas: Places to go

Mid-Wales has so much to offer, from culture and heritage, to exciting white-knuckle activities. The mix of mountains and coastlines in mid-Wales make it an ideal place to take groups of young people, as there is something that will please everyone.

Places worth a visit include Snowdonia and Brecon Beacons, for the breathtaking scenery, and the Centre for Alternative Technology, which offers practical ways of learning about climate change and sustainable living. For culture lovers there is Powis Castle, a medieval castle with a world-famous garden, and Ceredigion Museum, which is housed in a restored Edwardian theatre. The more active can enjoy mountain biking, walking, horse riding, white-water rafting, kite surfing or hill walking.
