South east off the A488 at Llanfihangel Rhydithon by a church. Follow the road/track up the hill. Park on the side of the track before the barn and walk to T/O on the right.
T/O altitude 1475 ft AMSL
Top to bottom 450 ft
Take-off and Top landing are straightforward but rotor is likely near the gully to the left of T/O.
Bottom landing is very restricted. You are advised to inspect it before flying.
This area is used by low flying military aircraft on weekdays.
Nothing significant nearby, though Welshpool ATZ could be an issue.
