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.

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.

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.

Without a doubt, one of the wildest and most mysterious parts of the UK.
