  • Small family-friendly site in the foothills of the Brecon Beacons
  • Just off the main A470 road, a five-minute drive from Brecon town
  • Views out across the mountains; pygmy goats to meet at the park
Get to Glangwdi Glamping for bell tent breaks at a fantastic family-run site in a first-rate spot for bumbling around the Brecon Beacons National Park. Days of hiking, alpaca walking, mountain biking, horse riding, canoeing, gorge walking – and pretty much any other activity you're up for in this part of Powys – are a doddle to organise while on a hol here. Taking on pursuits of a more leisurely sort is also an option at this scenic site, either by simply sitting down and admiring the views out across south Wales’ most sizeable mountain range or by wandering over to meet the pygmy goats, chickens and ducks at the farm. Barbecues with a backdrop of the Brecon Beacons are of course a brilliant way to arrange dins on site (firepits are available and there’s wood to buy). But if you're not in the mood to cook, let someone else do the work by ordering meals at one of the pubs, coffee shops or restaurants up the road in Brecon (five minutes’ drive). You could also wangle a takeaway delivered straight to your pitch... Work up an appetite for eats with a walk around the Brecon Beacons, whether a gentle hike in the woods or while getting stuck into scaling Pen-y-Fan (20 minutes), the area’s highest peak.

Wild Buttercup bell tent

Liked: Beautiful site, with well maintained and clean facilities, with lots of personal and unique touches. The wash room and shower room are well appointed and the wood and decorative touches add luxury. Our tent was very spacious and cosy with lots of rugs, throws, cushions and hot water bottles for every bed. The double bed was very comfortable and our son slept very well on on of the single airbeds. The fairy lighting really added to the relaxation. The kitchen shelter had everything we could have possibly needed for our camping trip, which meant we didn't have to pack a thing, only a quick food shop at the local Aldi and we were sorted for the weekend. The setting and beautiful views to the mountains really added to it and having a fire pit to ourselves and logs available on site was very convenient. The pizza truck (The Greedy Goat) on site which is open in the evenings served some of the best pizza we'd had in a long time. Jo was a fantastic host and really made us very welcome. We would definitely stay again and we would recommend this site for anyone looking for a great family getaway in a peaceful country setting with a town on your doorstep.

Welsh Poppy bell tent

Liked: Such a beautifully set up site with amazing attention to detail and fantastically kind friendly hosts. The tent was so comfy, spacious and clean and the pitch had everything you needed, included cooking facilities, utensils, fire pit and a range of seating options. The toilet and showering facilities were brilliant, with a beautifully set up wash block. Being next to the goats, chickens and ducks absolutely made our daughter’s stay and being able to spend time with them and collect our own eggs was incredible. The owners made us delicious pizzas and waffles to order from their catering caravan and could provide fire wood for the fire pit. The site is close the lovely town of Brecon, great for provisions, museums and coffee or a meal. It is also only a short drive to the nearby car parks for walking up into the Brecon Beacons. There’s loads more to do in the area.

Local attractions

Horse-riding sorts might like to saddle up at the nearby stables (10 minutes' drive), while mountain bikers can satiate their need for speed on the top trails at BikePark Wales (half an hour). And the outdoorsy antics don't end there… Brecon is something of a hub for such things with activity centres around town for rafting, canoeing, high ropes courses and gorge scrambling adventures. All sound too exhausting? Take a more leisurely ride on the Brecon Mountain Railway (half an hour) before heading home via the Penderyn whisky distillery (30 minutes) and sampling some locally made tipples. Break out of the Beacons for trips to some of the area's other attractions: Llandovery Castle is half an hour away, as is the literary town of Hay-on-Wye, a settlement lined with bookshops. A little further north, but well worth a trip are the lakes of the Elan Valley and the Red Kite Feeding Station in Rhayader; both are around 50 minutes drive.
