- Wild camping at a peaceful, back-to-basics site in rural Monmouthshire
- Tintern Abbey 25 minutes' drive; Sugarloaf and Usk Valley 35 minutes
- Dogs welcome on site; local pub a five-minute drive away
Feeling the call to go wild camping? Set yourself down for a simple back-to-basics stay in rural Monmouthshire at Perthcretig Farm. Just as you might hope from a wild campsite, it’s a peaceful sort of place surrounded by green, sloping countryside. There's also the pleasure of resident roe deers and other wildlife passing through on the regular: buzzards, kestrels, hares, woodpeckers, pheasants and many other native birds.
The basic grass field is down a country lane about a mile from the village of Llansoy. It’s a rather scenic part of Wales, this, with the Wye Valley sitting pretty about 10 minutes’ drive to the east and the mountainous Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park just a 25-minute drive up north.
Come here if you’re all about outdoor living without unnecessary luxuries. The site has just portable toilet facilities, and no showers, but plenty of fresh air and – of course – the chance to recline horizontally under the stars should they be so kind as to make an appearance.
The local pub is just a five-minute drive away from the farm (45 minutes on foot), so you're set to grab a beer or a pub meal as soon as the idea strikes you. Any groceries for snacking on the go can be sourced in Raglan, 10 minutes’ drive away. Your dogs are welcome on site; they should like all the dog-friendly venues in Tintern Village (and it should be mentioned that the abbey’s also rather nice to look at…).

Local attractions
Keen to explore on your own two feet? Take on the classic circular trail at The Blorenge (35 minutes’ drive), a 561-metre hill in the southeast of the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park. More stunning walking routes weave their way across the national park, ranging from short to long. Don't overlook the Sugarloaf and Usk Valley (35 minutes), owned by the National Trust and home to dramatic walks along the Sugar Loaf and Skirrid.
You could also kick off a hike at Tintern Abbey (25 minutes) on the banks of the river Wye; trails head up into the forested slopes or along old disused railway lines. Historic sites are all about this part of the country, another of the grandest being Raglan Castle (15 minutes), with its moat, gatehouse and Great Tower. The market towns of Monmouth (25 minutes) and Abergavenny (25 minutes) also have plenty of historic landmarks, like castles, museums and canals.
For a properly rural afternoon out for the family, set your sights on Raglan Farm Park (10 minutes). The kids can dart around the soft play areas and have a go at the go-karts, ride-on tractors or zipwires.
