Welcome to Smithy Park ( Bestparks )

Static Caravan Holiday Home and Touring Park at Smithy Park, Abermule, Powys

Smithy Park at Abermule, Powys is the perfect place from which to explore beautiful Mid Wales. The coast is just an hours drive away through the scenic Cambrian Hills and there are resevoirs, castles and historic towns nearby.

Smithy Park is a special place where the River Mule flows into the River Severn. Mature trees and shrubs give the park a garden-like setting between the two rivers.

Free fishing on River Severn adjacent to park
Fishing on Montgomery canal
Extensive local walking and cycling
Local golf courses at Welshpool and Newtown
Local centre for tennis, bowling & activities - 600yds
Luxury heated facilities building
Village shop and pub a short walk away
30 full service touring pitches

Touring and Tents

Set in 5 acres of immaculately maintained surroundings, Smithy Park has a garden-like appearance. The mature trees and shrubs in the neat grounds lead down to the River Severn.
There is free fishing on the River Severn alongside the park, or day, weekly and season tickets available for 2 miles upstream, or on the adjoining Shropshire Union Canal. Fast water fishing includes trout and salmon and there are grayling, chubb and other coarse fish.

The splendidly varied countryside is wonderful to look at and a paradise to walk in. The park has good access to many local footpaths, also ideal for dog owners.
There is a small children's play area, with swings, slides and a climbing frame for the little ones to enjoy.

Nestled alongside the River Mule and River Severn (but safely fenced off) are our all-service touring pitches. Each concrete pitch has a 16 amp electrical hook up, a TV hook up with some satellite channels, water, waste water, sewerage connections and a small light for your convenience. The usual toilet and laundry facilities are of course provided.

Just a few yards away, the village has the Waterloo Arms and Abermule Hotel to quench your thirst and provide hearty respite and the excellent shop and Post Office is open 7 days a week.
The local Community Centre is a very short walk and has tennis courts, bowling green and other facilities available, with a small membership charge. If you need more, then the local market town of Newtown has a lot to offer. It's just 5 minutes in the car or a regular bus journey from the park entrance. Supermarkets, The Bear Mall, traditional Market Hall, boutiques and curio shops can serve your practical needs or provide some retail therapy. The Robert Owen museum, Oriel Gallery or Theatre Hafren should cater for your cultural needs.

Welshpool is another bustling market town, with everything from specialist shops to Farmers Markets. There's a steam railway, canal cruises and the famous Powis Castle nearby.

The local town of Montgomery also has a castle worth visiting.

The Welsh coast is less than an hour's drive to Aberystwyth, Aberdovey or Borth, with stunning scenery en route.

With convenient access to the North and Midlands, Smithy Park is handy for you to get away from it all

Out and About

Smithy Park at Abermule, Powys is the perfect place from which to explore beautiful Mid Wales. The coast is just over an hours drive away through the scenic Cambrian Hills and there are reservoirs, castles and historic towns nearby.

Barmouth, coastal Mid-Wales
Barmouth’s location on the west coast of North Wales and lying between a mountain range and the sea on the mouth of the river Mawddach is arguably one of the most beautiful locations in Wales. It rests just within the south west corner of Snowdonia National Park and is seeped in a history rich with connections to the shipping and slate industries.
The old town is well worth a visit with its steep steps and slate-roofed cottages on the side of a mountain. The harbour is beautiful and you can walk across the spectacular Barmouth Bridge spanning the river which can be an ideal activity for an evening stroll.
The beach is large and perfect for sunbathing and games and surfers can often be seen depending on the swells and time of year. Kids love the beach yet its size means those wanting to get away and relax in peace and quite can do so easily. It also has a large range of shops, pubs, hotels and other accommodation, a funfair from March to October and amusement arcades.

Lake Vyrnwy
Lake Vyrnwy lies just to the south of Snowdonia. It is a man-made water reservoir with a perimeter road 11.75 miles long. Located a short drive from the Shropshire border it is a day-out from areas such as Birmingham and Liverpool. If you should nearby it is a perfect base for exploring Snowdonia and the coast from Harlech to Aberystwyth. Lake Vyrnwy Nature Reserve and Estate is an area of land in Powys, Wales, surrounding the Victorian reservoir of Lake Vyrnwy. Its stone-built dam, built in the 1880s, is the first of its kind in the world. The Nature Reserve and the area around it are jointly managed by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, and Severn Trent Water. It was built for the purpose of supplying Liverpool and Merseyside with fresh water. It flooded the head of the Vyrnwy Valley and submerged the small village of Llanwddyn. Today it is a popular retreat, for people in the West Midlands and Merseyside for days out, and also for ornithologists, cyclists, and hikers. The Reserve is designated as a National Nature Reserve, a Site of Special Scientific Interest, a Special Protection Area, and a Special Area of Conservation.

Dolforwyn Castle
Dolforwyn stands on a wooded hill overlooking the fertile Severn valley, a scene so peaceful today that it is hard to picture it as one of political animosity or military action. It was built between 1273-77 by Llywelyn the Last as a forward position in his territory, and overlooking the English lordship of Montgomery. This rectangular castle crowns a ridge along the Severn valley, and was obviously designed to act as a sentinel over Llywelyn's south-eastern frontier. Its initial construction led Edward I to write to Prince Llywelyn in 1273, forbidding him to build the castle. The prince replied, with a masterpiece of ironic politeness, that he did not require the king's permission to raise a stronghold in his own principality. Dolforwyn was, however, taken by Roger Mortimer after a fortnight's siege in 1277, and given to the Mortimers, a powerful marcher family. The castle was kept in repair for some years, but was ruinous by 1398. Llywelyn's fledgling town on the ridge to the west of the castle was suppressed under the English, who did not welcome competition with Montgomery. Instead, Roger Mortimer founded Newtown in 1279 on a more suitable site nearby.

The Robert Owen Museum
The Robert Owen Museum celebrates the life and works of Robert Owen, born in Newtown, Mid Wales, in 1771 and died there in 1858. Robert Owen is chiefly associated with New Lanark, A New View of Society, New Harmony and The New Moral World. (The word “New” is common to them all.) New Lanark was a large cotton-spinning establishment on the River Clyde, thirty miles above Glasgow. Robert Owen was Manager of the mills and workers’ village from 1800 to 1824. He much improved the workers’ conditions and built splendid new schools for their children. The establishment made him a rich man. Robert Owen wrote A New View of Society in 1812-13. He cited the improvements in the character of the New Lanark population as proof of his doctrine that character is made for man, not by him. He urged universal primary education and public works to solve unemployment. The book was much read.
