  • Well-maintained and scenic setting with spacious pitches
  • On the Offa's Dyke Path on the border of England and Wales
  • A 15-min drive from Monmouth; Wye canoeing within a couple of miles
Wales? England? Mosey along to this Monmouthshire site for both. Hendre Farmhouse Orchard Campsite is on the border of England and Wales, within easy reach of days out of all sorts in both countries. It's no more than half an hour's drive to famed attractions in both lands: the Brecon Beacons, Chepstow, the Wye valley and Raglan Castle on the Welsh side, and the Forest of Dean, Tintern Abbey and Hereford on the English. Even closer to home, the farm is on Offa's Dyke Path for those who fancy part – or all – of its 177-mile route along the Welsh/English border; canoeing on the River Wye is within a couple of miles, and the championship course of the Rolls of Monmouth Golf Club borders the site. Hendre Farmhouse Orchard is a peaceful spot overlooking meadows, rivers and hills, and with the River Trothy flowing through the farm meadows. Monmouth is 15 minutes' drive away.

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Availability of pitches On-site facilities, communal fridge/freezer, kettle, toaster and microwave. Plenty of hot water Picnic benches and barbecues provided. Peaceful site

Disliked: Facilities not as clean as previous year. Some minor issues with electric hook up - but quickly sorted. Be aware there is very little mobile signal/internet availability - not a deal breaker for me - but good to be prepared.

Non-electric grass and gravel motorhome pitch

Liked: The campsite is small, very peaceful and in a pretty spot, close to good places to visit. Our children liked the little playground down the far end of the site. It made life much easier having access to ample hot water, a kettle, fridge/freezer and microwave! I’d definitely stay again.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Very clean and tidy. The campsite is lovely as are the family that run it. We stayed for two nights (tent). The owners would come around day and evening on a wood run, so you'll never run out. The site has several toilets, showers (two I think) and lot's of utilities to use - Washup areas, fridge freezers, microwave, toaster and a kettle. For the price, this is an excellent site. The field is sloping towards the centre ponds but pitches have been made flat so no really a problem. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Had a wonderful time at Hendre Campsite. The site was very beautiful nestled away in the countryside accessed by a small country road so no traffic heard at night. The pitches all come with a picnic table and firepit. Toilets and showers were kept clean. I would absolutely come back again and definitely recommend it!

Local attractions

Get your walking boots ready, because Hendre's setting next to the Sugar Loaf and Black Mountain ranges is among the most scenic hiking country in Wales. Recommended walks include the Three Castles, a 19-mile route linking Skenfrith, Grosmont and White castles, following hills and woods and among views of the Black Mountains, the Welsh Marches and the Forest of Dean. Also to be tackled of course is Offa's Dyke Path, on its southern Wales section around the Wye valley and the eastern side of the Brecon Beacons National Park: just follow the acorns… You could also try the Celtic Trail, on a route across Wales rather than up and down it like Offa's Dyke, and running west from Chepstow to the county of Pembrokeshire, or the 100 miles of the Beacons Way for a challenging day or two of hikes. In the Wye valley and the Vale of Usk, take the Wye Valley Walk on part of its 136-mile run from Chepstow to Rhayader via Tintern Abbey and Monmouth. For a shorter local stroll, try the Caerleon Heritage Trail, the Lower Wye Ramble or the Priory Grove Circular Trail.
