Small Breeds and Farm Park, Kington: We are now open EVERY DAY of the year, bar one - Christmas Day! We look forward to seeing you.A magical place to experience animals, birds, and owls. Enjoy a few hours of pure simple pleasure in an enchanting place where the rest of the world just doesn't seem to exist.- An excellent value family day out. Judges Lodgings, Presteigne, Powys: An historic house with a difference, our total ‘hands-on’ policy allows you to actually sit in the judge’s chair, study his books, even pump water in the kitchen (although we would rather you did not use the commodes!) From the stunningly restored judge’s apartments to the dingy servants’ quarters below you can explore their gaslit world. Damp cells remind you of the building’s true purpose, along with the vast courtroom where your imagination is captured by the echoing trial of William Morgan, local duck thief.
