Welcome
Erwood Station
Erwood railway station is a former station on the Mid Wales Railway line in Erwood, between Brecon and Llanidloes, Powys, Wales.
The Station buildings were taken on by the Cunnigham family who lovingly restored the area. The original platforms remain in situ, and Station house remains alongside the Station.
Three 19th century railway carriages were brought in and brought back to their former glory along with a signal box from Kington railway.

What Our Customer Says?
The carriages
The 3 carriages at Erwood
- The first carriage is a lovely seating area for guests wanting a place to enjoy their food and drink from the coffee shop. Overlooking the river, and with multiple bird feeding stations in view, people can enjoy bird watching in the warm and dry in a truly unique setting. Dozens of species of birds are seen here every day. The groups of long tailed tits appearing a few times a day being amongst the favourites.
- The second carriage is locally known as the gallery. Erwood Station has a tradition of showcasing a selection of arts & crafts from local artists, and this tradition continues today. There is now a smaller collection of artworks, but still all very special. David Bellamy and Lewis James Phillips are just a couple that we are delighted to be able to showcase. Throughout the year, local artists will be invited to exhibit here giving them the opportunity to share more of their collections. Along with the art on the walls, local crafters are also supported at the Station. Pyrography, Ceramics, Willow weaving, and metal work to name a few.
- The last carriage has stunning views of the river and the local river walk and we have chosen some unique and beautiful eco-friendly & fair-trade products from around the UK and the World.
Situated in between the Gallery and the end carriage is a small, covered outdoor area where shoppers can find lovely garden items such a bird feeders & boxes, bee hotels and other wildlife supporting purchases.
