Introduction to bryncarnedd
Field
Caravan site

  • Peaceful pitches a mile from Aberystwyth town centre
  • A 10-minute drive from Borth beach; 20 minutes from Devil's Bridge
  • Easy access from main roads; dogs welcome
Make the most of Ceredigion’s countryside and set your compass to Bryncarnedd Caravan Park, a mile outside of Aberystwyth town centre. It is indeed a splendid spot here on what was once a busy dairy farm, and handily you’ll be well set for getting into town for shops, restaurants and attractions when you want them. These days, this place has been transformed into a peaceful caravan park with holiday lets in the surrounding old farm buildings. Dogs are welcome to join you on the pitches here – there are plenty of places to take them (or yourselves) for a walk on local pathways. Easy access to the local main roads (A44 and A487) means that it’s straightforward to get out and about for the area’s many activities and attractions, be they beaches, birdwatching, bike riding or exploring the area around Devils Bridge (waterfalls and cool bridges included). Back on site, though, there are well-maintained facilities, including a play area, washing-up area, chemical disposal point and modern bathroom block with toilets and showers to rinse off after a full-on day of adventuring.

Duane J.

Electric grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked Nice quiet site, very attentive site person, nice pitches with good facilities ie toilets and shower block.
Ideally situated for both Aberystwyth 5 mins by car or 15 min walking and to Clarach bay.
I would recommend and would definitely go again.

Disliked Ignore the previous reviews regarding the orthodox Jewish people, yes we went during a time there were quite a few, lovely people, no noise etc, kept themselves to themselves, oh to the previous reviewers, Jews are allowed holidays funny enough,

Jason E.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Toilet/shower/washing up areas very clean with hand soap and plenty of toilet roll. No WiFi but 4/5G signal is strong.
No reception on arrival but we quickly established where the wardens caravan was and he was very helpful.
We didn’t like our allocated pitch as it was beneath trees and on a slight incline so an alternative was quickly arranged without issue.
The on-site warden was really helpful and provided an extension when our new pitch was slightly out of reach of our 110V lead.
Location of Bryncarnedd was ideal as we needed quick access to Uni accommodation where our 9 yr old son was sited during a cricket festival.

Disliked Initial apprehensions from former reviews regarding sharing the site with families from the orthodox Jewish community during our stay were unfounded and we had no issues. All our needs were met and we leave Bryncarnedd with good memories.

Local attractions

Once you’ve got your bearings, you’ll want to get clued up on exactly what’s close by. Aberystwyth (five minutes’ drive) has a castle, cliff railway and the nostalgic Vale of Rheidol Railway, while Borth beach (10 minutes) will sort out swimming, surfing, fishing, sailing and windsurfing fans. For walks surrounded by pleasant coastal scenery, the Ynyslas beach and nature reserve (15 minutes) is a sure bet for that sort of stuff, while the Bwlch Nant yr Arian Forest Visitor Centre (15 minutes) has plenty of walks or bike trails in a forest setting instead. There's also red kite feeding activities to mix things up a little there. Put your smarts to the test… you’ll find a few things to wrap your head around at the Centre for Alternative Technology (35 minutes). Meanwhile, Corris Craft Centre (35 minutes) will be a test of your artistic skills instead, while the Silver Mountain Experience (20 minutes) has escape rooms and tours around a Victorian mine. And what about King Arthur's Labyrinth (40 minutes), where re-enactments and boat tours bring the legends to life? Handily, with your guide, you shouldn't get too lost inside the Snowdonia mountains…
