Mid Wales offers adventures for everyone, so read on to find out more about just some of the places and attractions you can visit, during your stay with us this summer.
MOMA Machynlleth
MOMA can be found in a former Victorian townhouse and Wesleyan chapel, and while it is known as a vibrant performance venue, it is also home to a gallery of contemporary Welsh paintings, photography and sculptures. When the historical building was first converted, thought and care was taken to make it as accessible as possible, with level access to all galleries. It also has an accessible lift.

The library fully accessible, with four designated parking spaces, automatic main doors, lifts, accessible toilets, wheelchairs for visitors and even water provided for assistance dogs.

The all-ability Barcud Trail leads from the eco-friendly visitor centre to the edge of the lake, where the birds are fed.
