Just over 4 months since our last visit to Chirk Bank☀️ My old school friend and I walked along the canal past narrowboats, ducks and carpets of wild garlic, before stopping for a long, relaxed lunch in the sunshine. This little bridge caught the light beautifully and the reflections on the roof were just incredible. It’s days like this that make a stay here so special… slow, simple and full of little moments. If you’re planning a break, there’s plenty to explore right on the doorstep. #Shropshire #WelshBorders #CanalWalks #HiddenBritain #StaycationUK #CountrysideEscape #SlowLiving #UKDaysOut #visitoswestry

Days like today make you stop and take it all in 💙 Vivid blue skies, daffodils dancing in the breeze, sheep in the fields and views stretching for miles… it really was one of those perfect countryside days at Cynynion Uchaf. As I stood outside, a plane passed overhead on its way from Manchester or Liverpool, and it made me smile. All those people heading off on holiday… airports, queues, busy resorts… And I just thought, I wonder how many of them would actually love this instead? Peace. Space. Fresh air. Big skies. Total quiet (apart from the sheep 🐑). There’s something pretty special about staying somewhere that lets you properly switch off and breathe. Sometimes the best escape isn’t getting on a plane at all. #Shropshire #StaycationUK #CountrysideEscape #HiddenBritain #UKHoliday #SlowTravel #FarmStay #PeaceAndQuiet #welshborders
🌸 Mother’s Day Memories 🌸 This beautiful photograph was taken in April 1942 on my Nanna and Grandad’s Wedding Day. Every time I look at it, I’m struck by how happy they look and by the strength, love and resilience of that generation. My wonderful Nanna worked well into her 80s and lived to the grand age of 92. She was an incredible lady who taught me so much about hard work, kindness and the importance of family. Today feels like the perfect moment to remember her and all the amazing mothers, grandmothers and carers who shape our lives and leave us with such precious memories. However you’re spending today, we hope it’s filled with love and special memories. Give your special person an extra hug 🌷 And if you ever feel like escaping to the peace and beauty of the countryside to spend time with family, Cynynion Uchaf is here to welcome you. 🌿 #MothersDay #FamilyTime #grandmotherlove #CountrysideEscape #MidWales #VisitWales #RuralRetreat #visitshropshire #cynynionuchaf
Sometimes the best places are the ones right on your doorstep 🐑 This week I popped to deliver some flowers to a local lady who had helped us recently, and ended up discovering her most beautiful little flock of Dutch Spotted sheep just 10 minutes from home. Blue skies, fresh green grass, lovely lambs just four weeks old and the most stunning views across the countryside. I've lived here over 40 years and had never driven down that road before. It just proves you don’t have to travel far to find something special. She proudly showed me her lambs, her lambing sheds and how much love and care she puts into them alongside running her plumbing business. Hard work, passion and countryside life at its best. Moments like this are exactly why we love living here on the Welsh borders. And why guests who stay at Cynynion Uchaf often say the same thing - the views, the space, the peace… and the feeling of real countryside life. 🌿 Four bedrooms 🌿 Sleeps 8–10 🌿 Two dogs welcome 🌿 Stunning rural views More photos and availability on our website. #CountrysideLife #DutchSpottedSheep #SpringOnTheFarm #WelshCountryside #LocalLife #FarmLife #LambingSeason #SupportLocal #HiddenGems
