- On-site canoe and paddleboard rental; fishing; weekend food
England or Wales? Orchard or field? Decisions, decisions… The first one is easy and made for you when you stay at Byecross Farm Campsite: you’ll definitely be in England here (Herefordshire, to be precise), though pretty close to Wales, in the historic border area known as the Marches.
As for the second dilemma, only you can choose whether to set up camp in the orchard or the field, since both are available here. The Old Apple Orchard has shaded pitches, but families might prefer the field, not least because kids will have plenty of space to run around.
Regardless of where you end up, you’ll be close to the River Wye, so bring your fishing rod and/or your watersports gear, though you can also rent canoes and paddleboards on site. The folks who run the watersports hire also arrange river trips to Bredwardine (about four miles west) and Hereford (almost 11 miles east).
Those who prefer terra firma explore hiking trails passing through spectacular countryside and alongside woodland-covered hills. If you have your canine buddy with you, there are dog-friendly walks at Moccas Hill Wood - Moccas Park National Nature Reserve and at Arthur’s Stone (both 10 minutes’ drive), not to mention epic walks at Bannau Brycheiniog National Park (Brecon Beacons) (35 minutes).
On-site amenities include a toilet and shower block, and a washing-up area. A small shop sells a few essentials and local beverages; alternatively, there’s a small supermarket in Madley (10 minutes). On Fridays and Saturdays, burgers and pizzas are available at the site.

Local attractions
A small market town on the border between England and Wales, Hay-on-Wye (20 minutes’ drive) is famed for its festival in May, which features talks and events by authors, comedians and musicians. Hay is also the world’s largest second-hand book centre, and it’s easy to spend a day browsing through shelves looking for fascinating titles.
Start your visit to Hereford (25 minutes) at Hereford Cathedral – to admire the architecture, sure, but also to marvel at the Mappa Mundi, a medieval map of the world (or rather the parts that were known at the time) decorated with weird creatures and unusual peoples. The Museum of Cider displays vintage presses and other items related to this locally made drink.
The ruins of Goodrich Castle (45 minutes), overlooking the River Wye, might spark the imagination of the kids and perhaps inspire a passion for medieval history, while Castell Rhaglan / Raglan Castle (55 minutes), across the border in Wales, runs events such as falconry displays and crafts days.
