  • Peaceful rural location with superb views near Llangernyw, North Wales
  • A 25-minute drive to Conwy Castle; Eryri National Park 30 minutes
  • Animals and free-range hens on site; pub and shop five minutes’ drive
A small and easygoing sort of place with spectacular views over the Eryri (Snowdonia) foothills, pop-up Glan Y Gors campsite near Abergele sits on a peaceful rural hilltop. It’s a few minutes' drive from the traditional Welsh village of Llangernyw, and very well placed for masses of things to do and see in North Wales. That is, of course, if you and the kids can ever stop gazing at all the cute animals sharing the five-acre smallholding with you. Pedigree Soay sheep and playful Pygmy goats are bred here, while happy free-range hens get busy laying fresh eggs for your breakfast – buy them from the honesty box. Dogs are welcome too on your Welsh sojourn (just keep them under control around the livestock please) and it’s a doodle to exercise them as footpaths lead directly from the camping field. If you are off out seeing the sights by day, do try to get back to home base on a clear night to see the colourful sunset and later lie back around the barbecues to take in the glittering night skies. With a basics shop and post office, Llangernyw village (five minutes’ drive) also offers up a friendly pub serving home-cooked food and real ales; it also has a takeaway service so you can have cosy suppers around the campfire.

Camping pod

Liked Beautiful setting on hilltop, fabulous views of Snowdonia, hot shower, clean toilet, comfortable beds, cooking facilities & electric in pod, totally peaceful & silent at night.

Local attractions

Pretty Llangernyw (five minutes’ drive) has an unusual whitewashed church and is well-known for the (circa) 5,000-year-old yew tree in the graveyard. Close by is the Sir Henry Jones Museum, laid out with period rooms and a shoemaker’s workshop in the whitewashed birthplace of the famous Welsh philosopher. Fancy ticking a few major attractions off the sightseeing list? Conwy Castle (25 minutes) is open for tours of the former royal apartments, while there are bracing walks and Irish Sea panoramas up the Great Orme in Llandudno (half an hour). Glittering sands await on the expansive Colwyn Bay beach (15 minutes), and there are gorgeous colourful (especially in spring and autumn) walks to be had at National Trust-owned Bodnant Garden (20 minutes). And of course, Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park (half an hour) is the scenic backdrop to many, many mountain hiking and biking adventures, and you can explore deep underground at the National Slate Museum (an hour) or zoom down high wires at Zip World Betws-y-Coed (25 minutes).
