Welshpool - Coed y Dinas
About Us
Coed-y-Dinas is one of eight stores that make up Charlies Stores. Spanning over 70,000 sq. ft., it’s home to our Garden Centre, Country Store, and Charlies Ag & Turf—our official John Deere dealership. Originally the ‘home farm’ for Powis Castle, Coed-y-Dinas played a vital role in supplying everything needed to run the estate at its peak. Purchased in 2002, this flagship store sits on land with history dating back to 1720. During restoration, great care was taken to preserve its unique character, retaining many of its original features. Nestled in the heart of rural Powys, we have a deep appreciation for the Great British countryside. This passion is reflected in our carefully curated product range and our ongoing work within the community. Whilst here, why not make a day of it and take advantage of some of the beautiful scenery and endless range of things to do and see.

From clothing & footwear, plants and kitchenware to garden furniture, pets and gifts, you can be sure you’ll get what you came for in our Garden Centre, and at a great price.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you allow dogs in store?
Only assistance dogs are permitted in store.
Whilst we and many other people love dogs, it is important for us to consider the safety and comfort of all our customers. We also always ensure our policies are in line with health & safety guidelines, which unfortunately means that the store is not of a suitable layout to safely monitor both the number of dogs in store, and provide fair access for all customers.
We do apologise for any inconvenience.
Do you have customer wheelchairs?
Yes. Please ring the assistance bell at the entrance and a member of staff will be on hand to help you.
Can you make a table booking in Howard’s restaurant?
No. We don’t currently have a booking system in place. Our restaurant operates on a first come first serve basis and we have plenty of seating available.
