  • Peaceful rural Powys site less than 10 minutes' drive from Llanidloes
  • A 15-minute drive to Clywedog Reservoir; 30 mins to Devil's Bridge
  • Simple pitches with lovely views; dogs welcome
Take a look at the pics for Glynbrochan Campsite and you’ll probably note that they feature an awful lot of green – if restorative rural views are what you’re seeking, you’ve come to the right place. This peaceful pop-up site has been set up in an open field in the pretty Powys countryside, just under 10 minutes’ drive from the shops and pubs of Llanidloes. Pitches here are in the middle of a gorgeous green valley, with fine views all around over rural scenery, and a quiet, friendly atmosphere on site. It’s a simple setup here (in keeping with its rural surroundings), with just portable toilets and a shower tent in the pitching field and space to park your car by your pitch. Dogs are welcome to join you on your break here, and there’s plenty of space for them to stretch their paws on walks nearby. As you might expect when surrounded by such fine scenery there are lots of places to get out for a rural ramble or bike ride in the area – top spots are the Clywedog Reservoir (about 15 minutes’ drive away) and Devil’s Bridge waterfall (half an hour). Looking for adventure further afield? Glynbrochan Campsite is located just off National Cycle Route 8 and is 45 minutes' drive from Aberystwyth and its surrounding beaches.

What customers say

Peaceful, back-to-basics bush camping near hills & streams. Friendly hosts, clean amenities, great stars. Some noted sticky loo doors & barky dogs. No phone/Wi-Fi. Great for a quiet escape.

Unpowered grass and earth motorhome site

Liked A lovely remote location, with a stream running along it. No frills, all basic amenities are catered for. We had a beautiful view, hills all around. Absolute silence all night and an abundance of stars in the sky. The owner was very friendly. Hafren forest, with all its beauty is 15 mins up the road. Llanidloes is a quaint little village to walk around. Highly recommended for a cheap break away in seclusion.

Local attractions

More of those marvellous Mid Wales views? There are plenty around… and a good place to start is at Clywedog Reservoir (15 minutes’ drive), which has a couple of signposted walking trails along the waterside and up to the huge 72-metre dam. You can stop off at the remains of the Bryntail Lead Mine while you’re in the area for a sniff of the area’s industrial past. Elsewhere, the Gilfach Nature Reserve (20 minutes) is another good spot for a wander, as is the route to the 90-metre Devil’s Bridge Falls (half an hour), taking in viewpoints to the Punch Bowl and Three Bridges. You may well spot some wildlife on your walks, but to be sure of doing so, visit the Red Kite Feeding Station (25 minutes) for close encounters with the big birds. Add a bit of history and culture to your break with a trip to the medieval remnants of Dolforwyn Castle (35 minutes) or an outing to Mid Wales Arts (20 minutes) to see what exhibitions and events are on while you’re in town.
