 Fforest Fields is a sheltered and secluded touring site in a hidden valley 4 miles from Builth Wells and the Royal Welsh Showground. There are 16 amp electric hook-ups but no hard standings.
A mountain stream runs through the 7 acre landscaped site and the surrounding hills are home to many woodland trails, moorland walks, a mountain biking circuit and paragliding area. There are 2 fenced 'dog scampers' but dogs are allowed anywhere on the farm lands as long as they are on a lead at all times.
The amenity block is almost in the centre of the field and contains 3 showers, 4 toilets and washbasins in each of the men and women areas. There are laundry facilities (including a tumble drier) and 2 washing up sinks. All the hot water is free. The rubbish area has separate areas for newspapers, cans and bottles.
The small reception building has information leaflets as well as also housing a fridge and freezer. The milk, eggs and orange juice are delivered daily and campers pay by leaving the correct money in the honesty box if George is not about. There is also a payphone on site and a freephone direct to the farmhouse for use in emergencies.
The pub at Hundred House is less than a mile away over farmland path and operates a courtesy bus to bring you back at closing time. It offers a wide menu and is more than happy to cater for children. The village also boasts a village store cum post office.
The whole atmosphere of the site is very relaxed and peaceful. George is an excellent host and runs the site with the minimum of fuss.
The paragliding school is also run by George - you get more details on this website: www.paramania.co.uk We had a very wet week, as a lot of us did over the Whitsun holiday. However, we still managed to get out and about and visited the nearby towns of Llandrindod Wells (used to be a Spa town), Rhayader, and Builth Wells. All of which provided the opportunity to while away an afternoon, dodging the rain.
A visit to Elan Valley provided us with an interesting walk along the edge of a reservoir and up into the surrounding hills. The visitor centre told the story of the dams and the people who built them. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Elan Valley, it is a series of reservoirs that feed the city of Birmingham with fresh clean water. Apparently it is all done by gravity - quite a feat of Victorian engineering.
In a final attempt to get somewhere out of the rain we headed towards Hereford. Never having been there before we were quite taken with the Cathedral but stopped short of visiting the Mappa Mundi the entrance fee was £4.00 each and we were running short of time. The city itself seems to be a mix of old and new and we have promised ourselves a return visit. We didn't avoid the rain though, and whilst we were there a tremendous thunderstorm cut the power supply to a large number of shops and banks!
Keith (my husband) and I wish we had visited this area of Wales before now - previously we just driven on by on our way to the coast - and we can wholeheartedly recommend both the area and the campsite to anyone who is looking for a relaxing, peaceful break in beautiful countryside.
