Add your business details- Dog-friendly luxury bell tents with views of the Black Mountains
- A 15-minute drive to the Black Mountains and Abergavenny
- A five-minute drive to the Offa’s Dyke footpath and the nearest pub
From tackling summits to taking it easy in private luxuriously furnished bell tents with views of the Black Mountains, spend some time away at Campston Hill Wild Camping in Monmouthshire, 15 minutes’ drive from the relaxed market town of Abergavenny.
This peaceful dog-friendly site is not only equal parts wild and luxurious. It also makes a good base for mixing and matching mountain hikes in the Black Mountains, including the Sugar Loaf (20 minutes’ drive), Skirrid Fawr (15 minutes) or Blorenge (25 minutes), with local footpaths and tours around local heritage sites including castles and ruined priories.
The main attraction, of course, might just be the completely private, luxuriously furnished bell tents at this site, which sleep up to four people. They each have access to a private eco toilet, wash stand and open-air hot shower, and are in a peaceful location with gorgeous views.
Part of a working farm down a private farm lane half a mile from the nearest road, the surroundings are pretty peaceful. The site is also nicely connected to several walking trails, including the huge Offa’s Dyke footpath within five minutes’ drive of the site.
Touch base at the nearest pub, which is a stop along the same footpath or five minutes’ drive away, for a pint of ale or a meal. Handily, the pub has a beer garden where you (and the dog) can sit outside and rest your feet. Later, pick up any supplies (and any bits you need for a campfire back on site) from the food shops in Abergavenny, 15 minutes’ drive away. Set a 10-minute drive away is the local cider house, a family-friendly place with a bar that runs weekend events and pop-up food.
