Why the great outdoors is good for our hearts & minds

As many of us discovered over the last 18 months, being out in nature is good for our bodies and good for our minds. The blend of space, light and views helps us connect better with ourselves, our world and with loved ones and friends. At Lake Country House we’re lucky – we get to enjoy natural mid-Wales in all its glory everyday. So we wanted to share how you can reap the rewards of the great outdoors too.

Luxury Experiences to Discover on Your Welsh Escape

The first and foremost reason you visit Wales is for the breath-taking beauty—the deep green valleys, the misty mountains, the swishing pine forests. Much of Wales is rural, remote, and wonderfully secluded. Here at Lake Country House, we’re nestled in the heart of it all, amongst lush tumbling hills. For those that enjoy the finer things in life, there are some luxury experiences to be discovered in Wales, that compliment any adventure. From relaxed wine tasting to the high-octane thrill of driving a supercar. 

Outdoor Activities to Enjoy in Mid Wales

There are many reasons people visit Wales. It could be for its rugged coastline or wealth of ancient castles. Perhaps to scale misty peaks in the mountainous northern reaches, known as Snowdonia. It might even be just to enjoy amazing food and hospitality. Whatever the case, Wales has a great deal of natural beauty and comfort to offer. Without a doubt, one of the wildest and most mysterious parts of the UK.
