Penhill Farm Caravan Park

Being virtually next to the Brecon Beacons National Park, this site is a convenient base for a hiking hol – so why not kick off your trekking trip with a jaunt up the steep slope towards 13th-century Carreg Cennen Castle (about 15 minutes’ drive away) for memorable views over the local area? Another historical structure to investigate is Dinefwr Castle, about the same distance from Penhill Farm; for strolls that are easier on the legs, set off for the fantastic floral displays at Aberglasney Gardens and the National Botanic Garden of Wales (both within a half-hour drive of the site) instead. Amble underground at the Roman and Victorian gold mines of Dolaucothi afterwards, then head back east into the Brecon Beacons for further explores beneath the earth’s surface in the labyrinthine tunnels of the National Showcaves Centre for Wales (55 minutes). If it’s a bright day and it feels like a shame to miss out on the sunshine, Llansteffan beach is 50 minutes' drive away.
