  • Well-maintained and peaceful touring pitches on a working farm
  • A 10-minute drive from Barry Island; 20 minutes from central Cardiff
  • Village setting; pub, café and bus stops within a few minutes' walk
What a splendid location for a Vale of Glamorgan break that’s packed with variety – Vishwell Farm Caravan Site is in the little village of Wenvoe and handily placed for rural walks, beach days and city days in nearby Cardiff. Access to all of the above is fairly straightforward: a 20-minute drive will get you into the centre of Cardiff for days of shopping, dining, culture and rugby, to the cute town of Cowbridge for walks and foodie treats, or to Llantwit Major for soaring cliffs and fossil-hunting on the beach. Even closer at a 10-minute drive are the seaside towns of Penarth and Barry, the latter being famed to British TV fans as the setting for Gavin and Stacey. Don’t fancy the drive? The village’s bus stops are only a couple of minutes’ walk away, with services to Cardiff and Barry. Elsewhere in the village are a good local pub and a garden centre that’s got a well-liked café – so you won’t have to go far in search of breakfasts, dinners or local ales either. It’s not all about the location though – the pitches here are well maintained too, set up as part of a peaceful working farm and with access to facilities including toilets, showers, chemical disposal and water. Dogs are welcome to join you on site here too, and there are plenty of great places to take them out for a walk nearby.

What customers say

This well-kept campsite offers a peaceful rural escape with easy access to Cardiff and Barry. Guests rave about the super clean, modern washrooms. Pitches are spacious, level, and well-spaced. Handy bus routes, great views, and a relaxed vibe make it a favourite for return trips. Minor Wi-Fi and temporary facility issues during renovations were noted, but the overall feedback is very positive: great cleanliness, location, and value.

Liked This is a fantastic site, the facilities were always clean, (and warm, which is great in December). The views are lovely and there is a bus stop 5 minutes away, which will take you to Cardiff or Barry. Would definitely recommend Vishwell Farm and we would stay again. It's a credit to the owners.

James B.

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite (seasonal)

Liked Well appointed site with clean modern facilities. The bus stop into Cardiff is only a short walk from the site and buses are regular, or you can go to Barry the other way. Would stay here again but, be warned, if there is anything going on in Cardiff book early.

Disliked The hot water in the lower toilet block was not very hot and the motion activated lights have a mind of their own!!

Liked Very clean and quiet. The bust stop is less than 5 mins away with direct buses to Barry and Cardiff. Everything was so easy and to top it all, great views as well.

Local attractions

The best way to explore your immediate surroundings is to head out on foot, taking in trails around Wenvoe Wood or heading off to Dinas Powys to see the ‘salmon leaps’ in the river and stop by at an ancient hill fort. Alternatively, head off to the National Trust’s Dyffryn Gardens (10 minutes’ drive/an hour’s walk) to stroll through a lovely outdoor space set up as a series of ‘outdoor rooms’, or St Fagans National Museum of History (10 minutes’ drive) for a free wander through an excellent open-air museum. You’re not far from the coast here, either, so keen walkers should also plan days out on nearby stretches of the Wales Coast Path. Llantwit Major (20 minutes) makes a good starting point for a walk taking in the sandstone cliffs of the Glamorgan Heritage Coast, or you could head to Ogmore-by-Sea (half an hour) to scramble through the dunes, see the ancient castle or ride horses along the beach. For many visitors, a day at Barry Island (10 minutes) has to be on the cards too – you can join Gavin and Stacey-themed tours here, try out all the rides at the funfair or just go along for sunbathing and swimming from the sandy beach.
