General
- Camping on a hilltop smallholding with mountain and sea views
- A 25-minute drive from Porthcawl; 50 minutes to the Brecon Beacons
- Alpaca, pigs and poultry on site; access down a private gravel track
Get away above the clouds… Tal-y-Fan Farm may have a high-up hilltop location, but it’s very grounded in the way of facilities. The wild camping site has a composting toilet and hot shower.
Mountain and sea views are a couple key ingredients at Tal-y-Fan Farm, as is its fresh water supply. Barbecues are permitted, so it’s handy that there are farm shops within 15 minutes’ drive of the site or general shops within 10 minutes’ drive of the site.
Wild campers will be based on a smallholding, which keeps alpacas, pigs and poultry. Access is down a private gravel track, across a common. It’s a great spot for hikes and the likes, with the Brecon Beacons National Park accessible from 50 minutes’ drive of the site and the Gower Peninsula around an hour away too.
Even closer is the sea. Porthcawl, 25 minutes’ drive away, has a set of gorgeous beaches, a fairground and surf or paddleboard hire, along with cafés, restaurants and bars. A little further afield is Barry Island (45 minutes), with its lively seafront and arcades, a destination where parts of Gavin and Stacey were filmed.
Please note that dogs are not allowed on site.
