Good Day Out Pig Walking

You'll find yourself leading a pig on a lead through the Welsh countryside near Brecon - and yes, it's exactly as daft and wonderful as it sounds. Good Day Out Pig Walking does what it says on the tin: you get paired with one of their pigs, head out into the Powys landscape, and spend an hour or so rambling about like you've somehow ended up in a children's book. The pigs are surprisingly keen walkers, though they'll stop to investigate literally every muddy patch with the dedication of a forensics team.

It's proper brilliant if you've got kids who need something different from the standard farm visit. The animals are well-cared for and genuinely enjoy the outing, which makes the whole thing feel less gimmicky than you'd expect. Adults who fancy something offbeat will find it good value too - there's a real simplicity to it that cuts through the usual attractions fatigue.

As for logistics, details are thin on the ground online, so ringing ahead before you visit is essential. The beauty of basing yourself at one of the nearby glamping spots - Aber Glamping in the Brecon Beacons sits just 3.5 miles away - means you can do this as a morning activity without worrying about driving distances. Toad & Snail Glamping is equally close at 2.4 miles, making either a proper convenient fit for a Powys weekend.

Allow a couple of hours including setup time. Go early if you can - morning light makes for better photos, and the pigs are fresher.
