Standing proudly above the Breidden Hills, just outside Welshpool, Rodney's Pillar has watched over Mid Wales for well over 240 years.

Built in 1781 and 1782, the striking stone monument was raised by the gentlemen of Montgomeryshire to honour Admiral Sir George Brydges Rodney after his naval victories. Today, it's one of the area's most recognisable landmarks, rewarding walkers with far-reaching views across the Severn Valley and beyond.

Whether you're tackling the walk for the first time or returning to enjoy a familiar favourite, it's one of those places that reminds you just how special Mid Wales can be.

Have you made the climb to Rodney's Pillar? We'd love to hear what you spotted from the top.

Please Please Please don’t follow the sat nav on your way here. We are in the middle of nowhere so the post code is the whole lane. You will end up next door!!
Put ‘Pant Glas Talerddig’ into google maps and it will bring you straight here.

We are on the side of the road. Don’t turn off. You will see it from the road xx

Your holiday home is only a few miles from the shops and pubs when you drive one way. Walk or drive up past the house and you are in a wonderful wilderness. It changes pretty much every day. Not just seasonal, but weekly. I just love the views. Depending what time of day it is, or what the weather is doing. It’s absolutely beautiful.

We recently had a family come to stay who needed some more children’s toys than we provided. We try to have a little of everything for people but did not know they were bringing a toddler. Of course I went to the main house and filled a box of things for the children to use. Please let us know in advance if you need anything special for your stay and we will do our best to accommodate your needs. Also, anyone reading this, what would you like us to be able to offer?

While you are staying with us, not too far from the 2 bedroom apartment you will be staying in, is a beautiful spot we often go to and recommend to our guests who stay.

We took a drive around Creggenan lakes, a place I have been visiting since I was a little girl over 40 years ago and it never ceases to amaze me. You cannot only see mountains and lakes, but the estuary and the sea, all the way to Barmouth. We were heading to the beach, so not planned for this particular day, the road was closed ahead so we took a drive up the small lane to arrive at the lakes instead. I have added more information underneath which can be found on Google. What I really want you to take in is the beautiful scenery. You really can have your breath taken away. Photography is widely used in this area. Nothing really does it justice though. We have spent so many different times there, picnics, hikes, star gazing at night. The lake is good for fishing. Walking is highly recommended to get the amazing views. Although the views you see that I took this time were just from standing by the car, so would be suitable for all. Please do not swim in the water, due to some rare species in the water and surrounding land, but enjoy the sights. There is a car park and a public toilet.

Llynnau Cregennen / Cregennan Lakes in southern Snowdonia are owned by the National Trust and are a renowned and often photographed beauty spot. There are tremendous views of the Mawddach Estuary and Barmouth Bridge from near the lake. The lakes are situated on the northern slopes of Cadair ldris, some 800 ft. above sea level, overlooking the beautiful Mawddach Estuary, with car park, just 5 miles from Dolgellau.

You can take a walk around these natural lakes, or head up to Pared y Cefn Hir to enjoy spectacular panoramic views over the mountains and Mawddach Estuary.

The lakes are home to a number of rare species so wild swimming and paddle boarding on the lakes is prohibited.

There is a car park and toilets by the lake. - Grid Reference: SH657143
