Parking for the Woodpecker is in our own private area 60 second walk across a Bridge which spans Bechan Brook and short path. The car parking area is lit with sensor spot lights and the the short path walk, which goes past the picnic area from the bridge are beautifully and romantically lit on dusk to light your way. It really is a lovely site to see.

You turn off the B4389 down a track through two fields. You cannot see the cabins from the road in the summer. There is a temporary sign on the roadside verge saying Kingfisher and Woodpecker. Follow down the track to the gravel car parking area, and the Cabins are a short walk over the wooden bridge and along the gravel path.

If you have mobility issues then please let us know before hand and a separate route can be arranged.

We are also only 10 minutes drive by Taxi from Newtown Train Station. We are located 2 1/2 miles form Newtown which has supermarkets for your supllies aa well as country pubs and eateries a short drive away.

We are a working farm, and you are welcome to walk around the farm yard and meet the horses, cows, sheep and pygmy goats. Please wear suitable footwear for the time of year. We also have some nice farm walks around our woodland areas.

You fell like you are in the middle of no where but are in fact still close enough to all provisions and amenities.
