About Self-Catering Holidays in Church Stoke
Church Stoke is a large mid-Wales village, located in Powys. It is an excellent base for anyone wanting to discover the hilly countryside around the Welsh/English border and the Welsh Marches. Shopping in the village is very convenient, as there is a supermarket – always useful for stocking up on groceries and treats for your self-catering cottage. You may wish to take a peek at the Sunday Market which has stalls for clothing and items for the home and garden. It is always nice to find something different to take home as a souvenir. The large parish church is St. Nicholas Church, which has a 13th century tower may be a place to visit if you like architecture and old buildings.
For a family day out during your holiday in Church Stoke, the nearby small town of Montgomery is ideal; everyone will love the Cloverlands Model Car Collection, a fabulous collection of classic cars and sports cars replicated as models. Keen cyclists have a choice of five major cycle routes close to the town. Powys Castle & Gardens, built in approximately 1200, is a fine example of a medieval castle, with fabulous artefacts from India and a 17th century terrace garden. On a much smaller scale, there are the romantic ruins of Montgomery Castle too.
If you want to learn more about the history of old Montgomeryshire, visit the Old Bell Museum, housed in a former inn built in the 16th century. It is an award-winning museum, with interesting archaeological excavations.
A holiday treat for the children
Children will also enjoy the Welshpool & Llanfair Light Railway, a narrow gauge railway that gets passengers close to the scenery. Look out for special events on the line. But just walking round Montgomery is very pleasant, taking in the whitewashed farmhouses and Georgian town houses.
Whether you choose to book a holiday cottage in Church Stoke, an apartment, a lodge or another type of self-catering holiday accommodation, we hope you have your best holiday yet in Powys.
