We are a 200 acre family-run working farm, now famous for our Red Kite Feeding Centre. Hundreds of Red Kites feed here every day. It is a truly breathtaking spectacle which we hope you will come along and witness for yourself.
The Red Kite Centre is located in the most beautiful countryside, in the heart of Mid Wales, overlooking both the Wye and Elan Valleys, and just half a mile from the market town of Rhayader. We have general hides for you to watch from, as well as specialist Photographic Hides, both of which are just a few metres away from where the Red Kites are fed.
There is a coffee shop & gift shop, a picnic site, and farm trail.
Disabled Access
The Farmyard – low ramps provide access to the toilets, the café and the shop.
The farmyard is tarmac coated, slightly sloping in parts.
There is a disabled toilet located on the farmyard.
There are two seating areas for the coffee shop, an outdoor covered area and an indoor heated area located in the old bull pens; both are suitable for disabled access.
Space is a little restricted in the gift shop, which is on three levels. Access to the two lower parts is available to wheelchair users and those with differing mobility requirements – if the doors are not open please enquire and our staff will happily open them up to provide access.
The hides are 130 metres away from the farmyard. The walk to them follows a farm track with a gentle slope up and through the picnic area, followed by a slightly uneven track with a gentle downward slope to the hides (please see note above regarding driving down).
Due to the uneven terrain the farm trail is not suitable for wheelchairs.
Parking
The main car park is located on the farmyard but we are able to provide limited parking immediately outside the hides for disabled persons. Because this is limited it is adviseable to pre book this facility, whenever possible, by contacting us on 01597 810243.
There are two disabled parking spaces on the car park.
