If you're dreaming of a wedding venue that feels personal, peaceful, and deeply connected to nature, then Nant y Walch Barn in Powys, Wales might just be your perfect match. Combining 16th-century charm with modern sustainability, this family-run venue offers couples not just a location—but an experience filled with authenticity, warmth, and breathtaking scenery.
Where History Meets Eco-Conscious Living
Originally built in the 16th century, Nant y Walch Barn has been lovingly restored into a wedding venue that honours its heritage while embracing a greener future. The barn is completely carbon zero, powered by solar panels, a heat pump and its own natural water source. The grounds are managed organically, welcoming wildlife such as otters and herons—a magical touch for nature-loving couples.
Inside, the barn features stone walls, vaulted ceilings, and large windows that flood the space with natural light and capture stunning views of the countryside. It’s a seamless fusion of rustic authenticity and modern functionality.
A Scenic Welsh Escape
Set among wildflower meadows, a tumbling stream, and surrounded by panoramic views of the Cambrian Mountains and the Irfon Valley, the setting is nothing short of idyllic. Whether it's your ceremony, reception, or first photos as a married couple, this backdrop ensures every moment feels unforgettable.
If your guests stay overnight, they can even take a refreshing dip in one of the natural wild swimming spots nearby—perfect for the morning after.
