Reviewed By Val104 - Salisbury, United Kingdom
Touring Wales towards Machynlleth, we spotted a large board advertising the Observatory and Cors Dyfi Reserve. The sign of a wild Osprey caught our eyes at the entrance. We had not known of this place until now, so could not resist seeing it for ourselves. We had no idea if this was a few minutes or needed longer to see. At least an hour needed. There is a large car park and a new toilet block at the very start of it, to the right of the entrance. There are no other toilets for the public. To the right is a small cabin selling snacks, drinks and good cakes. Tables, benches with umbrellas all outside, no tables inside. The entrance tickets are purchased from the left hand cabin, selling marvellous photos on cards and souvenirs of the Osprey. We were given then a good map of the place showing the boardwalks built across the marshes to various hides to climb up to or in. Signs are displayed along the picturesque new walkways depicting the various plants, buffalo, wildlife etc. Mountains tower in the background of this wonderful walk. At the very end the huge hide has panoramic views and expensive equipment to look through to see the baby Osprey birds in their nests. Some people had been lucky enough to watch the mother Osprey bringing back a huge trout , dropping it into the nest. The cabin entrance has large screens to see close up photographs and live filming. All the staff were so helpful, cheerful and informative and enthusiastic making this a very happy and memorable morning.

I experienced the ‘Have a Go’ 25 shot package, as part of a small stag weekend for six, staying in Aberystwyth- about 45min away. Our package involved 5 shots at 5 different stations / scenarios. Despite all of us being total novices, & under the excellent guidance of our instructor Gareth, we all achieved a surprisingly good degree of success during the roughly 90min of our activity. Communication with Richard prior to the day was excellent,- particularly as our group numbers fluctuated in the days leading up to it. Our needs were accommodated perfectly, with even a last minute change (caused by cancelled Six Nations matches) bringing forward our booking by 24hrs. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience. I would heartily recommend it to anyone wanting to ‘have a go’! - and we will look forward to returning in the future. My great thanks go to all concerned at Dovey Valley Shooting Ground!

Visiting the Corris Crash Centre, we made a beeline to revisit one of our favorite furniture shops: Taran Eco Designs. We have several of their pieces at home already, made using local recycled discarded wood and slate. Friendly and helpful assistant in the shop. I will be returning next year to partake of their table making course. Excellent shop - lots to see and buy!

7. Ynys Hir Wildlife Reserve

Reviewed By 32debbier - Leeds, United Kingdom
The staff here have worked hard to ensure the reserve can maintain social distancing. One way systems have been put in place in order to enable you to explore the whole of the reserve whilst still social distancing. Two separate loops mean that you can choose a short or long walk. We did not see a lot of bird life but the walk takes you through a lot of different habitat, including ponds where dragonflies breed. I can imagine at the right time of year this would be a great place to see waders, there were a lot of geese around even now. The views across the estuary to Snowdonia are stunning. This may be your best chance to see osprey, which can be seen flying along the estuary sometimes, given that the osprey project is currently closed to visitors.

The Tabernacle was converted in the mid-1980s from a Wesleyan chapel into a centre for the performing arts. Since then MOMA Machynlleth has grown up alongside it in seven beautiful exhibition spaces. Throughout the year MOMA Machynlleth shows Modern Welsh Art, featuring leading artists from Wales, works from the growing Tabernacle Collection, and in August selected entries from the Tabernacle Art Competition. Many of the works of art are for sale.

This excellently designed art gallery is a real find in the quiet market town of Machynlleth. Just a few doors down from an excellent bookshop, and a new photographic gallery, it always has fabulous work on show, as well as the permanent exhibition of work. There is a round gallery used for displaying sculpture, as well as a number of rooms devoted to paintings and sketches. The reception area houses exhibitions of local artists which can be purchased as well as cards and books, and is staffed by volunteers who are very happy to chat about the gallery. Well worth a visit if you are touring the area. Good disabled access to the rear, and a lift to carry wheelchairs between floors.

A beautiful historic clock tower in the town centre of Machynlleth. Great architecture and worth a quick stop to check it out.
