Quick Overview

Rhayader is a small market town in the heart of mid-Wales, often called the gateway to the Elan Valley and its spectacular Victorian reservoirs and dams. It has several dump stations for motorhome and caravan travelers, with some offering free access. The town's Motorhome disposal point and chemical disposal facilities serve the touring caravans and motorhomes that explore the remote mid-Wales countryside, where sanitary motorhome service point access points are rare and distances between services can be significant. Rhayader sits at the junction of the A470 and A44, making it a natural crossroads for rigs heading through mid-Wales between the coast and the English border. The town has about 2,000 people but serves a large rural area and has basic amenities including a couple of pubs, shops, and fuel. The surrounding landscape is stunning -- rolling green hills, Victorian reservoirs, and some of the best red kite viewing in all of Britain make it a rewarding destination for touring caravanners.
