As part of the Wales Tourism Week celebrations, Montgomeryshire MS Russell George visited Meadow Springs Country & Leisure Park in Trefeglwys, Powys, to recognize the site’s recent achievements and learn more about its ongoing development.
The visit, which took place during Wales Tourism Week (held annually in May), highlighted the continued investment in tourism infrastructure in Mid Wales.
Meadow Springs Country & Leisure Park, which opened in February 2022, is owned by Jonathan Williams and Lisa Hughes.
The park recently received the “Best Caravan, Camping & Glamping” award at the National Tourism Awards for Wales, underscoring its growth and recognition within the tourism sector.
During the visit, George was given a tour of the park’s leisure facilities and updated on its development plans, according to a report by Powys County Times.
The site has already seen a £4 million investment since its launch, with a further £3 million planned for the addition of new spa amenities, including a swimming pool, sauna, and gym.
Clive Bowen, service manager at the park, said:
“At Meadow Springs, we’re proud to offer a wide range of leisure facilities to suit all interests and ages.”
”Whether it’s paddleboarding or kayaking on our crystal-clear spring water lake, casting a line in our private stretch of river, or letting the kids explore our adventure play area, there’s something for everyone.”
”Guests can also enjoy scenic walks or cycle along our all-weather paths through the park. And at the heart of it all is Arthur’s Restaurant & Bar, where we serve hearty, home-cooked meals made with locally sourced ingredients in a relaxed, friendly setting.”
”I’m glad we had the opportunity to show Russell around what we believe, is a unique selling point for mid Wales tourism.”
George acknowledged the park’s progress and its contribution to the regional visitor economy.
“The exceptional transformation over the last couple of years of the Meadow Springs site highlights the extraordinary innovation that is taking place in mid Wales’ tourism industry,” he said.
“Meadow Springs offers incredible opportunities for visitors, contributing significantly to our local economy, and showcases the best of what our area has to offer. They continue to invest in improving the site to make it a truly unique mid-Wales experience.”
”I congratulate Jonathan, Lisa, and service manager Clive Bowen and their team on winning the award for ‘Best Caravan, Camping & Glamping’ at the National Tourism Awards for Wales, this is a testament to their hard work. The team are not resting on their laurels, and it was exciting to hear about their future plans which will only enhance their offer to visitors but also the local community.”
For business owners in the outdoor hospitality sector, Meadow Springs’ strategic reinvestment highlights the potential benefits of continued site development and diversification of guest experiences.
The integration of wellness amenities and activity-based offerings demonstrates a commitment to meeting evolving guest expectations while supporting regional tourism objectives.
Operators looking to enhance their own sites may find the Meadow Springs approach a valuable example of blending high-quality service, reinvestment, and community engagement.
