Quiet adults-only rural Herefordshire site near the River Wye
A 15-minute drive from Hay-on-Wye and Offa’s Dyke Path
Walking trails nearby; five minutes' drive from a farm shop

Sling a trusty bag over your shoulder, grab some sturdy shoes and round up your co-adventurers, as walking trails, mountains and market towns are on the cards from The Swan Inn. Close to the River Wye and surrounded by the quiet Herefordshire countryside, this adults-only site is well-based for diving in the Wye Valley scenery. The clue is in the name; on site is The Swan Inn, a pub open on Thursday to Friday from 3pm to 10pm; on Saturday from 12pm to 10pm; and on Sunday from 12pm to 6pm (although sometimes it is closed for private hire). It has a Pieminister menu. A literary plunge is more the tune in Hay-on-Wye (15 minutes’ drive away) – but as well as the famed bookshops and great places to eat, there are canoes and paddleboards for hire. Back on drier land, national trails crisscross this part of the countryside: the Wye Valley Walk is five minutes’ drive away and Offa’s Dyke Path is 15 minutes’ drive away. As you'd expect from this setting the views are pretty splendid (think hills and open farmland with the River Wye running nearby). The site has immediate access to the road going between Hereford and Brecon, so as well as being in a relaxing spot, you’ll be well-connected to other destinations – and the farm shop five minutes’ drive away when you’re looking for some fresh produce to eat.

Electric grass campervan pitch

Liked: The tranquility and super friendly feeling of the place and owners \ staff. Food was yum - just what you need if you cba or want some company. Pitches level and coping well with all the water logging from rain. At night the owls were noisy but I love that. Loos and showers all clean and modern and functional. The little shop is a great idea.

Disliked: Not being able to stay longer, which is entirely my own doing

Chris H. Mar 2024

Electric hardstanding motorhome pitch

Liked: Very friendly host, staff, and locals. The site and the pub are both dog friendly and our two dogs enjoyed the stay. The camping area is fenced and gated, which is a bonus for dogs owners. We understand the pub and campsite changed ownership at the end of last season and that we were the first to stay on the site since then. We ate in the pub in the evening and were welcomed by a warm fire. The menu is not large but the food was very enjoyable and good value. Despite being small (9 pitches), the site has all of the facilities you would expect and the showers are nice and hot, as each bathroom (toilet, sink and shower) is serviced by a thermostatic shower unit. Thank you.

Disliked: Nothing

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Overall great, clean facilities, location quiet enough without feeling completely isolated. The pub on site served great pies and was reasonably priced. Driving really a must for more than one night as the nearest small towns and villages are a not really walking distance.

Disliked: One toilet was out of order, which on a bank holiday weekend meant a bit of waiting as was toilet/shower in a single unit.

Local attractions

Walking’s certainly one of the go-to pursuits around here, but what kind of trails will you be clobbering? For those long-distance routes, the 136-mile Wye Valley Walk (five minutes’ drive) passes hills and the river, while the 177-mile Offa's Dyke Path (15 minutes) traces the border between Wales and England. There are challenging mountain paths up in the Black Mountains (an hour and 20 minutes) and for easier-going walking or cycling routes through village landscapes, the Black and White Trail (five minutes) should fit the bill. Of course, the Brecon Beacons National Park (50 minutes) is another hiking hub, but other outdoor activities are in full flow here too, from caving to gorge walking. When you fancy sprinkling some history into your stay, Arthur's Stone (10 minutes) has a decent helping, in the form of a Neolithic tomb linked to King Arthur. Hay-on-Wye (10 minutes) has a castle, or there are museums dotted around Hereford (20 minutes), a nice pairing with a distillery trip or shopping outing. And to round off your historical route, perhaps the National Trust’s The Weir Garden (10 minutes) might serve as a digestif, as this historic garden was once under Roman settlement.
