  • Within half an hour's drive of hill walks, canoeing and horse riding
  • A 10-minute drive from Hay-on-Wye and the Hay Festival site
Question: what do bookworms, mountain bikers, hikers and heritage railway buffs have in common? Answer: they should all be making a beeline for Borders Hideaway Holiday Home Park in Herefordshire: this small but spacious site is on the edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park, under five minutes’ drive from the village of Clyro and 10 minutes from the antiquarian book browsers’ haven of Hay-on-Wye. If you want to load up with paperbacks and hide away in the hills perusing them, this site’s a suitable venue, with space and solitude, country views and a sensory garden to soothe your other senses. It’s also a comfy base to come back to after days filled with active stuff in the area; there's a splendid combo of hot showers and hairdryers in the bathrooms. With an eye for the small but significant details, the kids’ playground is centrally placed so grownups can keep an eye on younger party members while they continue sizzling sausages (barbecues are permitted on site)… or savouring their stacks of paperbacks.

What customers say

Super clean, great country spot near Hay-on-Wye. Toilets/showers are a highlight! Friendly staff, spacious sites, lovely orchard & wildlife. A few bit of road noise/sloping pitches, but most want to come back.

Liked It was a small quiet site with a playground in the centre of the touring pitches. It was perfect for the little ones to go off and play and be in sight. The toilet blocks were lovely and clean, the staff were friendly. We’ll be going back.

Disliked Nothing.

Unpowered grass tent site (wild, sloping)

Liked Absolutely beautiful site, very clean and well looked after. We stayed on the wild camping meadow and it was so peaceful and quiet. The toilet and shower block was really close by, and that was so clean and tidy, the little book swap was a nice touch, phone charging point (if you remember the plug!) Is handy! Really lovely site, will definitely be returning!

Local attractions

Once you’ve filled your boots in Hay-on-Wye’s numerous bookshops, there’s more to do in town, including exploring the castle, strolls and picnics by the river, and fortifying stops in the many hostelries and eateries. If you fancy further river ventures, make for Glasbury (10 minutes' drive away) to hire canoes and kayaks for trips down the Wye. Should you prefer the ease of an engine-driven craft, the base at Llangattock (40 minutes) has cruisers for daily hire. If it’s walks at height you’re after, Talgarth (15 minutes) is a starting point for paths up the Black Mountains’ highest peak, Waun Fach; for gentle wooded wanders with a waterfall at the end, plus wildlife spotting on the way, head over to the Pwll y Wrach nature reserve (20 minutes). To see the Beacons on horseback, there are treks of various lengths from Llangorse Multi Activity Centre (25 minutes), as well as indoor climbing and high up zipwires and rope walks both inside and out. If that’s not energetic enough, Oakerwood Leisure (40 minutes) has pastimes like paintballing, quad biking and clay pigeon shooting to get the adrenaline pumping. Historical type? Clamber round ancient sites like Crickhowell Castle and Llanthony Priory (35 and 45 minutes), puff through the hills on the Brecon Mountain Railway from Pant (50 minutes), or descend deep into mining heritage at the Big Pit National Coal Museum, an hour away.
